According to US Census data released in 2006, the average bachelor's degree holder earns an average of $20 thousand more each year than those with high school diplomas alone. Those with advanced degrees, such as master's degrees, can expect to do even better, earning nearly $30 thousand more than bachelor's degree holders each year, and a whopping $50 thousand more than high school diploma holders.

Education may have its benefits, but it's still an investment of time. Fortunately, technological advances make earning your degree easier to manage than ever, even if you're working full-time or supporting a family. Online degree programs are booming, but in number and credibility. Many are accredited, and most allow you to work whenever and wherever you can. Even campus-based programs typically cater to a working adult's schedule, offering night and weekend courses.
