“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”-Ben Franklin

Invest in Knowledge!According to 2011 study U.S. Department

(over a 40 year period a college graduate earns $1.17 million more than a high school graduate. Someone with a graduate degree earns 2 million more. A two year AA provides $180,000 more than a high school graduate. Imagine trying to survive without at least a high school

diploma?
