Your Opportunities through Education

Educate yourself ! Now is the time to take charge of your life and learn something new! Brush up on your skills or start a new career.

There are so many opportunities out there for everyone. Furthering your education is the smartest things you can do in this economy. I was presenting in one of our High School classrooms and discussing how much money you can make if you are a high school graduate vs. college grad. Your level of education effects you earning power. What type of lifestyle do you want to have ? By lifestyle I mean what kind of food do you want to eat, once in awhile especially in our American culture we typically like to eat at a restaurant . Well where do you want to eat ? Fast food forever or a nice restaurant ? How about traveling ? Do you want to have enough money to just get by or money to invest for your future retirement and have a savings account ?

Life is what you make of it and now more than ever are people of all ages going to college. Some start off at community college and some go to California State University system or University of California. Technical schools and online schools are also options for students. You just have to see if you have all of the requirements needed to attend the UC’s and CSU system.
Students often believe that they don’t have money to pay for school or its going to take too long. But why not invest in your future because it will greatly affect your earning power. College is an investment in YOU and there is money available to help you pay for it.

According, to the data collected by the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment and the Bureau of labor Statistics proves that Education Pays ! The unemployment rate for individuals with a Bachelor’s degree or higher is 5.4 %. Masters Degree = 4.0 Professional Degree- 2.4. Lower percentage of individuals are unemployed. The higher your education level the less likely you are going to be unemployed.  Therefore, do you think its time to finish College or attend college ? Its time to set your goals. I’m currently working with a client in goal setting and getting him back in school. Sometimes you need a plan of action and to set goals. Lets find out what your blocks are and how your going to move forward !
