Which Two Year College Is Right For Me?

People with career and technical educations are more likely to be employed than their counterparts with four-year academic degrees, the U.S. Department of Education reports, and significantly more likely to be working in their fields of study.

In all, some 30 million jobs in the United States that pay an average of $55,000 per year don't require bachelor's degrees, according to the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce. Source NPR: High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up For University
