Proof in Numbers: More Education Means More Salary

The Bureau of Labor Statistics collected data from professions across the board and determined that furthering your education will in turn provide more opportunity for a higher salary. Consider this fact when you are debating the level of education you wish to pursue.

Analyzing the numbers below, someone with only a high school degree will earn far less than someone with an advanced degree. With only one step more, an associates degree, you’ll earn 22% more per year. With a bachelor’s degree 54% more and with a masters degree an enormous 92% more or nearly twice as much!
