Two-year degree could mean a lucrative job
With college costs on the rise and student loan debt threatening to become a full-blown crisis, a four-year college degree may be out of reach for many people. But that doesn't mean you have to settle for a small paycheck.
According to a new survey from CareerBuilder and Economic Modeling Specialists, there are numerous jobs that pay quite nicely and only require an associate's degree. An earlier study from Georgetown University on these so-called "middle jobs" pointed out that nearly 40% of them pay more than $50,000 a year. CareerBuilder's survey focuses on the top of the heap.
