In a world where university costs are soaring, opting to enter the workforce instead of pursuing higher education appears to be the logical choice. However, education encompasses far more than just earning a master’s degree or PhD. There are many career programs or certifications available that allow students to continue their education to advance their career, enhance their skills, and increase their job opportunities. From networking, to stimulating your own mind and more, continuing your education has a multitude of benefits.
Senior-level jobs may require employees to have a higher level of education. Whether it is by obtaining a designation, a certificate, or a master’s degree, continuing education can help you to advance your career. For example, in the field of financial services, various designations and certification courses and exams must be passed, such as the Canadian Securities Course exam, if you wish to pursue a high-level job within the industry. Numerous studies have proven that there is a correlation between higher education and higher salaries and the more versatile you are as an employee, the more attractive you will be to potential employers. The more qualified you are, the greater the likelihood of you obtaining a job and being capable of negotiating your earnings.
