What's the value of a high school diploma
or college degree? The answer is clearly spelled out in dollars and cents.In a report released this week, the rewards of attaining a college degree and the financial hardship associated with not finishing high school are dramatic. In the United States, an adult with a university degree earns, on average, 72 percent more than someone with just a high school diploma, according to a study from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The annual study called "Education at a Glance" is released annually by the Paris-based organization, which compares how industrialized nations perform academically and what results economically. And, in the U.S., dropping out of high school has a steep cost. According to the report, adults who don't finish high school in the U.S. earn 65 percent of what people who have high school degrees earn. It was the biggest gap in any of the surveyed countries.
The report underscores the absolute need for obtaining a degree or diploma, which is being done with more frequency through Internet programs like Online Degree Direct. A private company, Online Degree Direct (online-degree-direct.com) is a one-stop shop for adults looking to further their education. Online Degree Direct is committed to maintaining strict objectivity in its opinions and information regarding a database of more than 60 schools.
