Individuals with a higher level of education are more likely to have a higher salary, according to the 2010 College Board's Trends report. This positive correlation may have to do with many other variables that come into play when someone has a higher education, such as having more career opportunities.
A higher level of education opens the door to more opportunities for employment. Employers seek employees with skills along with a college education. Not only because of the courses they took but because they were able to handle the coursework, organization, time management and dedication it took to follow through with it. With more job opportunities, there is a higher likelihood of job security, which is another trend reported by the College Board.
With more job opportunities, college graduates are more likely to experience higher levels of satisfaction in their lives. This can be two-fold because; not only are they proud of their educational accomplishment, but also because of their ability to have career security.
The goal to climb the corporate ladder in a company is a reason why some people decide to go back to school. Obtaining the degree, using the knowledge with the skills they already possess usually can help people step right into the next level of their career with ease.
