Reasons why your child should get a degree:

• College has financial rewards. With a four-year degree, your child will earn approximately $1 million dollars more over his/her lifetime than someone with only a high school diploma.
  
  
• College opens the door to more careers and jobs. With a degree, your child is two to three times more likely to be employed.
  
  
• Education expands your child's mind. Continued education will expose your child to a variety of people, topics and experiences. Growth and development will occur in areas such as critical thinking, creative expression, problem solving and more.
  
  
• Your child's education could improve your community. During college, your child can learn about resources and events that affect communities. Upon graduation, he/she can return home and apply gained knowledge and skills to help better the neighborhood.
