This article can help you make decisions about college and careers.

Higher Learning = Higher Earnings

If you’re a student in middle school or high school, you’re making decisions that will affect the rest of your life — decisions about which courses to take and whether to aim for college in the future.

Your parents, teachers, and counselors have probably told you how important it is to go to college. But you’re probably still wondering:

Is college really worth the time, effort, and money?
How much education do I really need for the career I want?
If I plan to go to college, what should I be doing right now to prepare?
What should I do if I’m not sure about college?

You need to know the facts for yourself. This guide can help you (and your parents) make decisions about your education after high school. It contains up-to-date information about:

How much more money you’re likely to earn if you continue your education beyond high school.
Which kinds of courses you should take in high school to improve your chances of getting into college and finishing a degree.
What money tradeoffs are really involved in going to college vs. going directly to work.
How a 2-year or 4-year college degree can put you on track for a career in a fast-growing field.
