Propel your Career with a College Degree
While 77% of American Indians ages 25 and older are high school graduates, only 14% currently hold a bachelor's degree or greater. As the number of jobs requiring bachelor's degrees continue to increase, so does the need to further one's education in order to maintain competitive in the job market. Each of the top ten fastest growing occupations requires a bachelor's degree, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is projected that these ten fields will grow faster through 2018 than all other occupations. That makes it more important now than ever before to achieve a college-level degree.
