Avoiding an education mismatch

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, managers and professionals today stay with an organization for an average of 5.7 years. This means that over the course of a 35-year career, they will switch employers five to six times.

Changing jobs and questions about returning to school often go hand-in-hand.  You might need to finish that bachelor’s or associate’s degree, want to pursue an advanced degree, or focus on a short-term professional training or certificate program.  Matching your career goals with the appropriate level and/or type of education can help you avoid costly mistakes that waste your time and money.    Careeronestop.org, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, offers a wealth of advice on career planning, training resources and even financial aid tips to help you make an informed decision.
