College Degrees and Online College Degrees

Monday, June 9th, 2008
Christian asked:


College
degrees are a necessity in today’s society where education
is needed to make a livable salary or to receive a promotion
before another degreed employee receives it. Many professionals
are returning to school via the Internet to get their online
college degrees. Online college degrees enable an employed
worker to attend classes and receive credit for advanced
education while keeping their job and allowing for flexibility
in scheduling to meet their personal and family
responsibilities. Adult students make up 50% of students
returning to school for their college degrees.
Schools offering college degrees should be aware of adult
students’ needs and cater to them. Many employers will reimburse
their workers for attending an educational institute that offers
higher college degrees than a 4 year college would. College
degrees are no longer available for the privileged few, they are
mandatory for employment in many businesses and companies. An
interview will not even be granted to applicants in most
companies without college degrees. Many students are returning
to school for online college degrees to gain better employment
conditions and a higher salary.
Advanced education opens doors for people, and allows them to
obtain satisfying and engaging employment in their field of
interest. There are college degrees offered in every subject
area imaginable. Certain college degrees are necessary before
moving upwards in the educational realm, such as a teaching
degree is required before a teacher can receive state
certification. Many online college degrees base their subject
matter in the business area, however, more and more options are
becoming available for those interested in receiving online
college degrees.
Online
college degrees also offer financial aid and other sources
of educational funding. While relatively new and accepted,
online college degrees offer a hands on approach to learning.
Subjects that are taught within the online college degrees
programs can be immediately applied to the work setting. In fact
there are projects that mandate implementation within a students
work setting. Online college degrees are gaining more and more
popularity as the year’s progress. With advancing technology and
the demand for college degrees in general growing higher and
higher, it is no wonder that 8 out of 10 returning adult
students opt for receiving online college degrees.

How to negotiate a higher salary without having a college degree?

Sunday, June 8th, 2008
woodybmi asked:


I have been with the same company for 13 years. I started out in production and have worked my way up to Application Engineer in our R&D Center. My problem is that my salary is about 20K less than the new “degreed” Engineers that we are now hiring. I have been given the task of training these new hires. During my last performance review I scored excellent, but only received a 3% pay raise. Why am I not compensated at the same level as the new hires? Even without a degree I feel that my work experience is more than adequate to qualify me for the appropriate pay grade. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can better negotiate with my employer please advise. Also, it would be very difficult for me to attend college now as I work full time and have every little “free” time.
