Iowa Colleges, Universities, and Schools
A good high school education,
followed by a college degree, is essential for career advancement these days. Competition
for jobs is fierce and even most manual jobs now require a certification providing
skill and experience.
Jobs requiring an associate degree are projected to grow 32 percent over the 2000-10
period; jobs requiring a post-secondary vocational award should grow 24.1 percent
(U.S. Department of Labor). Today, college graduates earn an average of 98% more
income than non-college-graduates. And the gap is widening. (Source: U.S. Department
of Commerce). Bachelor's and master's degrees, combined with experience, provide
the best route to success.
