Content: More and more employers are accepting online degrees, and online education is becoming the practical choice for many students in the face of rising costs at traditional colleges. College Graduates earn more. According to the most recent College Board survey, the average college grad makes about $20,000 more each year than those with a high school diploma only. Over a lifetime, college grads make about $1 million more than high school graduates. You'll be taken seriously. It might not be fair, but graduates from both traditional and online colleges are taken seriously more often than high school grads. They’re less likely to be questioned about their qualifications and suitability for positions they apply to, and they have more opportunities in general. With a traditional or online college degree, you don’t have to work as hard to prove yourself. You are competing against college graduates. For most jobs you apply to—particularly white-collar jobs in offices and professional positions—you are competing against those who have a traditional or online degree.
