Path to an MBA
After leaving the military in 2005, I began to wonder what I truly wanted out of life. What will make me happy? After sitting down and writing out a list of things I believed would make me happy, I came to the conclusion that job security, higher salary, and personal satisfaction would motivate me reach this goal.

The answer I found did not surprise me. “Persons with master’s degrees on average earn $1,257 per week compared to those with bachelor’s degree who earn on average $1,025 per week on average”.
