Job security is like a ladder, and you’re either climbing it, or falling down it. One day you’re up a few rungs of the ladder, doing fine. All of a sudden your company fires half of its employees, and after working so hard to climb that ladder, you’re slipping downward. Back into the job market you go, with no prevail. Even worse than not finding a job, you get interview after interview, opening after opening, but no one wants you. You don’t have a degree. Or even worse than that! You have a degree, but no one wants you because your degree is no longer of use to the emerging job markets. If the USA is the world leader, how many Americans hold the advantage in competitive higher education? How about this statistic? 150 million Americans, over the age of 18, don’t have a degree! And here’s a cold hard fact: Within the next decade, you won’t even be so much as considered for almost half of all job openings. And once again, just having a degree could possibly doom you even more. Having a degree shows employers that you have high expectations. They won’t even want to talk to you; they’ll consider you over-qualified, maybe even for a job your education didn’t prepare you for. With no degree, or an out-of-date degree, and even no job and ever-shrinking savings, higher education is your best bet. How will you afford a degree? Even with no money, there are plenty of ways you can get financial support to earn your degree! Take advantage of the friends you have in high places, like the President to you state officials.

Perhaps you don’t have the time or energy to do it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any way to help with the energy. You may very well be tired already. As hard as it is, you have to sacrifice your small amount of energy. But that sacrifice is for you and your family. If you don’t, you’ll pay with a lower quality of life for you and your loved ones. And what about time? You can’t make time, and you can’t travel to a college or university. If you don’t have time, just adjust your life a little. Give yourself a couple hours at the beginning, middle, or end of your day. Take classes online. With online classes, your schedule is flexible. You can study anytime, anyplace. Millions of other people will fall down that job security ladder. Somehow they will find the money, somehow they will find the time, and somehow they will find the energy. You’ll be competing with them for the rest of your life. If they can do it, so can you! Use all the resources we’ve made available just for you here at GetDegreed and find an online program that’s just right for you! Everything’s already right here in front of you, now it’s all up to you to put it all to work.
