Any way you measure it, a college degree is the best investment of
your life. In today's dollars, a bachelor's degree is worth more than
$2.1 million over 40 years.
A master's degree in business administration (MBA) is a long-term
investment that will pay off even during economic hard times.
This year's MBA graduates can expect an average starting salary
of $80,000.
The need for a skilled labor force is critical. The U.S. Labor
Department predicts that employment in occupations requiring at
least a bachelor's degree is expected to grow 22 percent in Education,
Healthcare, Business and Technology.
