One of the primary reason for continuing one's education after
high school is that additional education usually means more
career opportunities. The more desirable jobs generally depend

provide. It has been reported that almost 90 percent of the
new jobs being created today require more than a high school
level of literacy and math skills. Earning potential also increases
with the level of education. This relationship can be seen in
the data below from the US Census Bureau.
