Will I get a return on my college investment? With the right plan yes!
Posted on October 29, 2019 by Aafke Loney, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.
The average person spends 80,000 hours of their life working. It would seem wise to spend as much time preparing for the career after college!
Student loan debt is increasing each year and averaged $24,600 per student in 2012. Less than 60% of students graduate from college in the four years for which they planned. According to the New York Times, “At Penn State, 80 percent of freshmen – even those who have declared a major – say they are uncertain about their major, and half will change their minds after they declare, sometimes more than once.” (New York Times, 2012 “Choosing one college major out of hundreds”) Investment in career development is a wise choice for all students resulting in decreases in post-secondary education costs and increases in student confidence and career success.
