Did you know that college degrees benefit the people who earn them as well as the families and communities in which they live? Women with college degrees enjoy greater job stability and satisfaction. They live longer, healthier lives, have happier marriages, and have less stress then women without degrees. Studies even say that their children are healthier too!
Everybody knows that a woman with a college degree will have a higher earning potential, but did you know that women who finish school give blood more often, and are two-times as likely to vote than women who only have a high school degree? In addition, they are even 24-percent more likely to volunteer! Deciding to finish school or encouraging a friend to get that degree has multiple benefits, even for your community.
