Facts About Online Education
|
One of the biggest factors in deciding between starting a new degree or continuing with your current job is, how much more money will I make with that degree?
For most people figuring it out is almost impossible. However, thanks to the US Census Bureau, we have some great information on how much a degree is actually worth.
In 2005, the US Census Bureau published a report with data about how much the average person earned in America.
The average salary for a high school graduate in the US was about $2,532 per month. If you had a bit of college completed your income went up to $3,058. If you had a vocational certificate your income was around $2,912. For a Bachelor degree, the average income was $4,281, while a Master degree holder earned about $5,207 per month. These figures show some sharp differences in income based on how much education you have.
For instance, you can see that a Bachelor degree holder would earn on average about 69% more than a high school diploma holder. Now think about that for a minute. How much would your life improve if you had an extra 69% in your paycheck every month?
Now, the next question is, which type of degrees are the most valuable? In the same US Census Bureau report, they state the average income for the top types of Bachelor degrees:
Business Bachelor Degree Salary - $4,815 per month
Computer Bachelor Degree Salary $ 5,051 per month
Engineer Bachelor Degree Salary - $5,296 per month
Liberal Arts Bachelor Degree Salary - $3,443 per month
Social Science/Law Bachelor Degree Salary - $3,656 per month
Science Medicine Bachelor Degree Salary - $3,693 per month
Education Bachelor Degree Salary - $3,433 per month
It is pretty easy to see that business degrees, computer degrees and engineering degrees dominate the salary charts.
You can easily find one of these degrees in an online format or a campus based school at Education180.com.

Is an online degree recognized by your employer?
A common concern amongst people when they are researching online schools or online degrees, is how will my current employer or future employer view an online degree.
The good news is that a study published in 2006 by the Distance Education and Training Council, shows that the general consensus amongst employers about online degrees is very positive.
87% of the employers who had employees who completed an online degree said that these employees perform better on the job as a direct result of their online degree.
83% of employers would hire other graduates of online education programs.
93% of employers would also encourage other employees in the organization to enroll in distance learning programs.
85% said an online degree is just as valuable as a campus based degree.
98% of the students surveyed rated their education as adequate or superior.
Overall, employers are just getting used to the idea that many people will start to take online education or distance learning courses in the coming years. As more and more employers experience the quality of a online education graduate, they are more and more likely to hire other online graduates. They also see that the additional education is helpful to how the employee performs their job. Once a manager notices that a person is performing better, they are also more likely to move up in the company or get a pay raise.

Do I need a degree to become a Manager?
Many people in their career wonder, how can I move up in the company? Did you know that 45% of managers have a bachelor degree or higher?
There is a clear connection between moving up in a company and your education credentials. For many people, if they have a high school diploma, they may often be passed on promotions because they don't have the necessary education to be in management.
In several cases, a person may move faster through an organization if they have the right education credentials.
One of the biggest reasons people pursue higher education either through online schools or through campus based schools is to get a better salary and move up in a company.
The great thing about online education is that the online degrees are flexible. You can keep your day job and study on your own schedule. Find an online degree today at Education180.
