About This Lesson
Continuing education after high school is the way that many students go. If your children decide to continue their education after high school, you may have many questions. The choice is overwhelming. What is right for them? Is there a difference between a college and a university? How do I know if my teenager needs to get an associate or bachelor's degree? What does technical education mean?
What You Need to Know
Let's disassemble it. A bachelor's degree is the first degree awarded after four years attending a university. Post-graduate education is any college-level education after that, such as a 2-year master’s degree or the longer and more intensive doctoral degree. High school is called secondary education, which is called the school after graduation. Training programs and educational activities fit within the framework of career guidance related to education and career objectives. Volunteer activities also enable students to study career goals.

Why High Education?
All young people should continue their education. It does not mean that all students should study at a four-year college. This means that employees will be able to improve their skills, develop new skills, readiness, want and improve their skills in each occupation or job. An out-of-school education can include higher education, which can be advanced technical training, which means vocational skills training, which is for professional development. The purpose of vocational and technical education is to provide a skills base for high school students to graduate or change full-time or to receive education or training. About two-thirds of professional and technical graduates receive some form of higher education.
Higher education is what happens after secondary school, and includes college, graduate programs and vocational education. It is possible to obtain higher education through professional schools. After graduating from high school, education is important. Because America is a post-industrial society, this means that a large number of jobs require higher education.
You also learn a lot by attending college just because it teaches you how to manage your time and interests. Also, it gives students a new level of independence while still granting them the stability and purpose to thrive. Further, it is an important networking opportunity as students socialize with peers and meet mentors.
Benefits of Higher Education
College education contributes to economic growth and contributes to economic development. Some people get online degrees so that they don’t have to relocate and can keep working. By 2020, 65 percent of all jobs will require education after completing high school. If these graduates decide not to continue after high school, they will be able to earn only about half of what they would after studying at college. According to the US Census Bureau in 2016, adults aged 25 and older without a college degree earn $35,615 per year. Meanwhile, people with a bachelor's degree earn an average of $65,482 to $92,525 a year.
Look beyond high school. The economy is changing rapidly, and many people have to continue their education after high school to achieve success in the economy. Those with high school diplomas are twice as likely to be unemployed than those with bachelor’s degrees. Educated people are more likely to participate in volunteering, civil affairs, promote economic development, and ensure family stability. If we want to prosper in the future, we will need more people to get an education after graduating from high school.
