For many Americans, having a good education will set you up for a better future.
How much schooling you get can matter to some extent in life. College can open doors to career paths, higher earnings and other benefits. Some find opportunities outside of post-secondary education. While the COVID-19 pandemic has put a wrinkle in the education system this past year, remote learning has enabled students to continue their studies until life returns to normal.
