Four-year Colleges Many students attend a four-year college after graduating from high school. They earn a degree once they have completed a program of study which usually takes about 4 years. A four-year college usually offers a bachelor’s degree in the arts (e.g., English, history, drama) or sciences (e.g., biology, computer science, engineering). Some four-year colleges offer advanced degrees such as a master’s or other graduate degree.
Examples: Accountant, teacher, pilot, police officer, computer programmer, engineer
Fact: There are six four-year public colleges and universities and more than 14 private ones here in Washington. Some of them also have multiple locations around the state.
Public vs. Private. The major difference between public universities and private colleges lies in how they are funded. This affects students because funding is tied to tuition prices. 
Two-year Colleges A two-year community college or junior college awards an associate degree once a student has completed a two-year course of study. Some two-year colleges grant diplomas or certificates to students who have met course requirements and are ready to practice in their career fields. You can start at a two-year college then transfer to a four-year college if, for example, you’re concerned about college costs (community or public junior colleges usually cost less than four-year colleges). A two-year college is also a good option if you want to boost your grades before going to a four-year college.
Examples: Bookkeeper, firefighter, Mechanic, Childcare Worker, Restaurant Manager
Career Schools Career schools typically offer programs that take two years or less to complete. This type of school may be called technical, vocational, or a trade school. These schools provide students with formal classes and hands-on experiences related to their future career interests. Students may earn a diploma or a certificate, prepare for a licensing exam, or study to begin work as an apprentice or a journeyman in a skilled trade.
Examples: hair stylist, welding, medical imaging, carpenter, electrician, plumber

5. What can a college education do for me?
A college education will offer you more money, more job opportunities, and more freedom than a high school education. Video: The More You Learn the More you Earn earn.shtml Less Unemployment
More Money On average, a person who goes to college earns more money than a person who doesn’t. Over a lifetime, a college graduate can earn over $1.5 million more than a high school graduate! [Review The More you Learn the More you Earn]
Real-life Examples People with a college education typically earn more money during a shorter span of time.
BUYING GROCERIES • Terry is a dental hygienist (two years of college). Terry generally will earn enough money to buy groceries for a week after working only one day. • Sam is a high school graduate and works as a salesperson in a department store. To buy the same groceries, it generally takes Sam three days’ pay. BUYING A TV • Jamie is a college graduate and works as an accountant. Based on his salary, Jamie could buy a large screen TV using less than two weeks’ pay. • Chris never went to college and works as a waiter. Based on his salary, Chris will have to work five weeks to buy the same TV.
More Job Opportunities A major benefit of a college degree is having more jobs to choose from and less unemployment.
In 2009, the unemployment rates based on degree earned were:
5.2% for a bachelor's degree
6.8% for an associate's degree
9.7% or a high school diploma
And college graduates who get laid off generally find work faster than high school graduates do. The reason? More and more in the United States, there are fewer openings in low-skilled, entry-level jobs.
More Freedom As a college student, you’ll experience freedom as you never have before, by • studying more on your own instead of in a classroom; • meeting people from all over the country and world; • studying abroad (it pays to learn a foreign language); and • choosing your own unique courses, such as Biology of Extinct Animals, Music and Your Brain, Television in American Culture, forensic science, or computer graphics. A college or career school education can give you the skills needed to pursue a career that really interests you.
