Follow on Google News | Top 30 jobs favor educationI was doing research on the fastest growing jobs for the next decade and was surprised at the average job salary difference between obtaining a degree and no degree.
By: Joblirious.com In looking at the top 30 jobs, those that do not require an associate’s degree or higher were paid on average $20k-25K per year. When you compare this to jobs requiring an associate’s degree, the average was $40K, double that of someone with no degree. If a person has a bachelor’s degree, the average salary increases to $55K per year. Add a masters or doctorate and the salary continues to increase. Now, here is the kicker. The potential salary increase for a person without a degree increases from $10/hour to $13/hour. Annualize this on a normal 40hr week and the salary growth potential is $7,000. An individual with a bachelor’s degree can increase from $55K to above $150K. They can increase their salary by $100K. Let’s review an example: a physical therapists aide makes on average $25K while a physical therapist makes $60K. If they both have 10 years experience, the aide makes $30K and the physical therapist makes $150K. So, what is a person to do who does not have a bachelor’s degree? Go get one! I recommend you go get one using night school or online classes. Don’t worry about going back to a brick-and-mortar college. Just get the degree. What you want to avoid is the salary ceiling imposed because you don’t have a degree. You are a smart person with lots of potential. Another tip, ask your employer if you obtained a degree could you move up to an equivalent position. The difference may be $400K to over $1M over 10 years. Good luck. # # # Joblirious is a leading provider of information for job seekers.
