Careers
With so many careers to choose from, you may not yet know what you want
to be. But one thing is for certain — education is the path to a
career with earning power.
Does school really make a difference? Absolutely. The number of years
you spend in school is one of the biggest factors in increasing your
earning ability.
Did you know?
- High school dropouts earn an income of $10,839 a
year on average. †
- High school graduates earn an average annual income
of $18,571. †
Talk about a great investment in your future! High school graduates
will probably earn at least $7,500 more each year that they work — because
they stayed in school.
The more education you complete after high school, the higher your average
annual salary could be. Discover more about salaries, jobs, and the link
