Is Going Back to School Worth It?

While there are no guarantees that you'll make more, getting an additional degree usually results in workers making more money and having more opportunities for advancement over the course of their careers. The degree will equip you with additional skills and knowledge and make you more attractive to employers.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' findings on median earnings in 2018 showed that people with a bachelor’s degree or higher earn about $584 more each week than those who only have a high school diploma. A degree really does make a difference. Learn more about possible careers and salaries in the healthcare administration field.

And sometimes being worth it isn't about money at all. It's about fulfilling a long-held dream of earning a degree. Sometimes it's about setting an example for a child, a sibling, a niece or a nephew. It may be about changing to a more fulfilling career. 

In short, yes, we think it's worth it; and we think you'll think so too.
