According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a worker with a bachelor’s degree will earn about $1.2 million more over a typical 40-year career than someone with only a high school diploma. In a single year, government data shows a college graduate earns, on average, an extra $30,805 on top of the average income earned by those without a degree*. This makes a four-year education perhaps the most valuable investment in the world, and that is why you should consider completing your Bachelor of Science in Professional and Liberal Studies (PLS) online at Saint Joseph’s University.
