As an educator and advisor to young people, you know the world is changing. The days when only a few students went to college and most students headed for jobs or vocational school are over.
Today, even the meaning of the word college has changed. It now refers to a great variety of programs and institutions. A big reason for that is that jobs are no longer what they used to be. In the last 20 years, the share of jobs requiring some college has risen from 28% to more than 60% - and is still increasing. Statistics show that every bit of postsecondary education a person gets boosts income and opportunities over their lifetime. It is more important than ever before for you to help your students learn about the higher education alternatives that are available and how to get into and succeed in them.
