Women Taking Advantage Of Education More Than Men

This post is sponsored by Blogitive.

Women have begun to outnumber men in higher education. Whether it is because women see higher education as one of the few paths to success in American business for women or if it is because of gender differences is debateable. One thing is certain, the higher your learning, the higher your earnings. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that over 40 year work span, for every 2.1 million a college graduate makes in a lifetime a graduate degree recipient makes 2.5 million. It seems the biggest jump is between having a college degree and not having one or a doctorate's degree and undergraduate. High school graduates might stand to make 1.2 million in a lifetime and doctorates 3.4 million. Now that there are online universities, there really are few restrictions for getting a higher education.
