Do You Need a Degree-Ways to Study for a Test

 The U.S. economy is in a mess, as are the economies of many overseas countries.

Most economic indicators show little or no growth. Some show “negative” growth. Some experts even say that this is the worst downturn since the Great Depression.

Hope For The Best
Despite reports from the White House, job growth has remained virtually stagnant for over three years. Of course we all hope for the best; but many people in the workforce and many hoping to get back into the workforce are considering taking action to correct their own personal situations.
Once upon a time, a high school diploma served as a sort of guarantee that individuals could be assured of finding a good job … and keeping it. But today’s world is facing an educational crisis. The basic diploma or GED makes it even tough to find the most menial jobs.

So the question facing many workers is this, “Would more education help me find a better job?”
Perhaps what you need is a degree, diploma, certificate or accreditation!

This Tight Job Market: In all seriousness, there are times and situations when that certain piece of paper can make all the difference. With the job market this tight, that piece of paper will often narrow down a business’ or industry’s choices when scarce jobs do open up.

An Eye-Opening Experience: A family member of mine recently discovered just how tight the job market is and just how competitive it is. This chap has a BS degree from a top university yet had only been able to find the most menial job. He answered an ad from a leading research institution for a job working in a telephone call center. Interviews were conducted at a local hotel and the line of applicants extended through the hotel lobby and around the outside of the building across the parking lot. He spoke to a number of people waiting in line, and he met folks with four-year and masters degrees who were desperate for a shot at a part-time, $10.00 per hour job. He was successful—but hundreds were not.

A Multitude of Options: Author, teacher Dr. Marc Dussault says, “There is nothing worse than missing a critical element to practice the career you’ve always dreamed of, but even if you are in your chosen profession or industry, you can find yourself stuck or held back from the career fast track just because you don’t have the diploma or certificate that’s needed.”

The fact is that having your MBA practically guaranteed success, but there are a multitude of options that the serious career person needs to evaluate and assess.

Fit Together the Pieces of the Job Puzzle
In order for you to find the missing piece of the employment puzzle that will permit you to find the ultimate job or position you aspire to, it will take some effort on your part. Even those holding a degree are taking the plunge into totally different career fields. The common philosophy is, “It’s worth a shot.”
What seems to be holding many job-seekers back is the thought of having to “crack the books” again. But this fear can easily be overcome if one is prepared to jump back into the realm of study and learning.

Gaining a college degree or moving toward higher...

advanced degrees have been made more attainable and more affordable as a result of the digital revolution. Hundreds of colleges and universities—even the big-name schools—now offer online learning opportunities…at very affordable rates. Your choices are limitless.
I’m an optimist and I hope you are too. It could take several years for us to witness the beginning of a real turn-around in today’s slumbering economy. Acting now can prepare you to get the jump on finding that dream-position that will put your own economy back on track.
