The Skinny on College
Why Go to College?




The more education you have, the more you’ll make on average and the lower
                your chances will be of being unemployed.
Still Not Convinced?
•   Demand
•   Training
•   Flexibility
•   Experiences
Demand
• According to one estimate, by the year 2028
  there will be 19 million more jobs for
  educated workers than there are qualified
  people to fill them.
Training
• Most good jobs – those that awful strong
  salaries and benefits - will require more than a
  high school diploma, even at the entry level.
Flexibility
• The work world is changing at a hectic
  pace, and rarely does a person stay working
  for one company or even in one occupation
  anymore. Education gives you greater
  flexibility in changing careers.
Experiences
• Higher education not only gives you skills, it
  can give you first-hand experience. It also
  allows you to meet new people and make new
  friends who can serve as career connections in
  the future. And alumni networks help as well.

  academic and social opportunity

  – Ranken Technical College

  some offer associates degrees.
• Costs can vary based upon the program.
• Example programs

    HVAC, Computer Programming, Aviation maintenance
The Missouri A+ Program
• Tuition and fee reimbursement at a qualifying
  2 year school
• To earn A+ benefits you must meet certain
  criteria
• Talk to your high school’s A+ Coordinator for
  more information
How Can I Prepare Now? Seniors

  school

Editor's Notes

  1. Every bit of education you get increases your earning potential - the average salary of a high school graduate is $15,000 less per year than a person with a Bachelors degree.. Better yet, further education decreases your odds of unemployment.
  2. Demand:Training:Flexibility:Experiences: Make friends, meet people, build connections, and explore your interests.
