eLearners Feature: Education Pays!

We know that money isn't everything, but it sure seems to make the world go 'round, especially in tough times like these. Education really is the ultimate armor in a struggling economy.

Did you know? People who have bachelor's degrees will make about 75% more money over the course of a lifetime than someone who stopped at high school graduation.

That's like $571,500 instead of $1,000,000!
