4/10/2012 1 Comment ROI on College EducationIf you have read my BLOG before you know I am completing my Master's degree in Adult Education and Training. While I am a proponent of learning throughout our life, I am trying to understand the Return On Investment (ROI) on completing my Master's degree. I am approaching my mid 40's and will be paying my in excess of $50K of student loans for a minimum of the next 10 years, if not the next 25.
While studies show that college graduates statistically make more than those without college degrees, I don't see any studies that show the loss of payments into 401K or Retirement funds calculated within them. I read today that this Business Week study does have marked declines in the ROI but it still seems to support the educational systems as they are at this time. I believe wholeheartedly that if someone has the opportunity to learn at the college level they should. However, the cost/benefit is not what it used to be. Be an informed consumer!!!

You made my curiosity rise, but always remember that the title of any webpage or blog post are the most important things to help them be found in searches, and the words you use in these headings and opening lines are the ones that search engines will pick up, so make sure you point out what you’re writing about if you want your post to be found.
