3 TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE Fifty years ago jobs in the U.S. required only a high school education or less. But today, very few jobs accept people without education or training after high school. In the future, college will be even more important: nearly all of the fastest growing occupations require postsecondary education. TO EARN A GOOD LIVING A person with a college degree or post-secondary education typically earns more money than someone with only a high school diploma. Someone with a college degree is also much less likely to be unemployed. TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS Reaching your dream probably requires more education after high school. You may need a one-year certificate program from a technical college. You may need an apprenticeship program. You may need a two-year associate s degree from a community college. You may need a four-year bachelor s degree. Or you may need advanced education beyond college. No matter what your dream, there is a program for you.
