EARNING A college education can pay off over the

course of your lifetime. Statistics show that,

on average, as your education level increases,

so does your earning power. That can mean

more money in your pocket or bank account

each week. At the same time, unemployment

rates tend to be lower for those with higher

education. Upgrade your future with a college

degree!
