Introduction

There are many reason that an employees might get a promotion or be considered for a job in a higher position. One of these is education. Some of our employees have an 2 year degree and some have other levels of education. One way to excel in any company is to have a bachelor’s degree. The reason for me bringing this up is because we have come up with a program that can help employees who don’t have an bachelor’s degree get one.

A high school graduate can expect to earn $1.2 million over his or her lifetime, while a person holding an associate’s degree can expect average lifetime earnings of $1.6 million. People with bachelor’s degrees have higher savings because of their higher incomes, so they can engage in more hobbies and participate in more leisure activities. When it comes to skills, “the skills necessary to succeed in college and earn a bachelor’s degree are time management, responsibility, critical thinking skills, ability to communicate. These skills come into play at work as well. It is also important to choose the right college too.
