2. Job Satisfaction
According to a Pew Research study, 60% of those with a bachelor’s degree feel like they have a sense of identity in their career vs only 38% for those with a high school diploma or less.

In 2020, the unemployment rate for those holding a bachelor’s degree was 5.5%. This is in comparison to those with just a high school degree at 9%. Those are good odds!
