Welcome Monday morning! Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, today marks the Monday students return from a week of Spring Break vacation. Despite their pleas for "just one more day" you shuffle them off to their school, dour faces and all.
But what about you? Are you returning to school too? Have you thought about courses you could take that might just help you get a raise, promotion, or give you an advantage over another candidate when applying for a job?
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the more education you have the greater your chances are for higher earnings and employment. Take a look at the chart below:
What the chart confirms is that if you want to advance in pay and/or your job, go to school now. This is great news, but if you're like many who are struggling through this recession-like economy, where do you find the money to attend classes? You can't afford to take on new loans, so what are your options?
The better news is that many of our most prominent universities offer free online courses to anyone who enrolls.
