By 2031, 7 in 10 jobs will require a bachelor's degree or higher.

We get it. Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Maybe you started college but had to step away. Maybe work, bills, or family came first. Or maybe the plan was always to jump right into the workforce, and you're now considering earning a degree.

A change of plans doesn’t mean your story is over. It means you’re ready for the next chapter.

The numbers are clear:

• In just five years, bachelor’s degree holders earn about $152,000 more than adults with only a high school diploma.
• Adults with a bachelor’s degree face much lower unemployment rates than those with only some college.
• And by 2030, more than one-third of college students (over 7 million) in bachelor's degree programs are projected to be adults over 25. 

This free guide will help you:

• Understand how degree completion programs work, whether you started a degree already or you want a fresh start. 
• Learn how to turn past credits, work experience, or public service into progress toward your degree (saving time and money).
• See why a bachelor’s degree still makes a real difference in pay, promotions, and job security. 

Don’t let the hard work you’ve already done go to waste. You’ve carried the weight of work, family, and responsibility. Now it’s time to invest back in yourself, on your own time.
