What Does a Bachelor’s Degree Get You? [Infographic]

A college degree and Bachelor’s degree are expensive investments. Tuition, room and board, books and other campus costs can run $22,800 at a public university, and over $44,000 at a private university. What’s all this for? Well, Bachelor’s degrees have produced 16 percent of the country’s bartenders, 14 percent of the country’s parking lot attendants, 23 percent of the country’s flight attendants and 12 percent of the country’s cab drivers. Computer Science, Economics and Accounting majors seem to have the best chance of finding a job after graduation.

You may have seen this in a job description: Bachelor’s required, Master’s preferred. A Master’s is often priced starting at between $20,000 and $30,000 but may provide a strong return on investment. Interestingly enough, an Associate’s degree may well be worth more than a Bachelor’s. After all, 30 percent of Americans with Associate’s degrees now make more than those with Bachelor’s degrees. There are currently about 29 million jobs today which only require an Associate’s degree (jobs paying a middle class wage). By the year 2018, there will be about 14 million jobs available which require more than a high school diploma, but less than a college degree.
