Why College?
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 or 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
or she can return home and apply gained knowledge and skills to
help better the neighborhood.
