CLASSES & JOBS

After graduating from high school, some choose to go on to college to study academics. Several types of programs and degrees are offered to cater to the person’s desires. Opportunities range from trade schools and 2-year programs to 4-year programs resulting in Bachelor’s degrees. Once a person knows what kind of degree or experiential education they want to get, they pick a specific major at an institution that suits them. When finished with the requirements of the major, the person graduates from college and then can choose to enter the workforce in their chosen career, or continue their schooling by entering a Masters or Doctoral program in their field of study.

Those who do hold degrees from colleges or universities are more likely to earn a better living than people with high school diplomas. Higher-level learning also opens up opportunities such as internships, career advising and study abroad experiences that secondary level institutions do not. Furthermore, many careers and positions now require a degree of some form to be eligible to apply.
