Generation Y And Education

Generation Y'ers are the most education-minded generation in history. Even more than their elders, they have the perception that a higher education will lead them to a better professional situation.

 

Research confirms this idea: the U.S. census bureau data confirms that the income gap between students with college degrees and those who haven't entered college has been widening year by year since the seventies. This research also confirms that the higher the degree, the higher the income and the lower the unemployment rate.


Taking this into account, it's not surprising that 70% of Generation Y'ers believe college is necessary to meet their career goals, a similar percentage of which expect to work in professional jobs. But while 9 out of 10 Americans have a high school degree, around 3 out of 10 hold a Bachelor's degree. These percentages are growing steadily, and with the presence of Generation Y'ers, the increase is set to be unprecedented. In a job market where more people have college degrees, choosing the right degree will be essential. 40% of college freshman expect to get their master's degrees, and while not all of them will actually make it, the proportion is set to rise year by year.

To choose the right degree for your needs, you need to have all the information available to so that you can compare and contrast the characteristics of an expanding educational market. Educational portals, such as emagister.net, offer a complete database with specific information about what each university offers. Only by having all the facts will you be able to choose the degree that suits your need and differentiates you from other job applicants.
