The importance of higher education
H
igher education has become of paramount importance for the survival of a citizen in any country of the world, with the emergence of high technology accompanied by increasingly more sophisticated lifestyle. This importance is also evident in a quantum jump of the average income from high school to Bachelor degree level, further to Master degree, and finally to Doctoral degree or professional degree. According to the Associated Press (Albuquerque Journal, July 28, 2002), on the average, a lifetime earnings in the USA, based on 1999 salaries as reported by the US Census Bureau, differ as follows:| Lifetime earnings of a high school diploma graduate | US$ 1.2 million | Lifetime earnings of a person with some college education | US$ 1.5 million | Lifetime earnings of a Bachelor’s degree graduate | US$ 2.1 million | Lifetime earnings of a Master’s degree graduate | US$ 2.5 million | Lifetime earnings of a Doctor’s degree graduate | US$ 3.4 million | Lifetime earnings with a Professional degree | US$ 4.4 million |
Investment in education is probably the best investment a person can make in his/her entire life. Perseverance in academia adds up to larger earnings over a lifetime. Those who resume their schooling in latter years may well catch up with what they have not earned in the earlier years of their lives.
However, only a very small percentage of the population can afford the luxury of undisturbed schooling toward completion of the terminal degree in their selected field of studies. Most of the people are obliged, at certain level of schooling, to seek employment or open their own business. Century University accommodates these people through offering distance learning on Bachelor degree, Master degree, and Doctoral degree levels to enable them to pursue further studies while gainfully employed or conducting their business
