Post-Secondary Education: Asset Choices Created by Ms. Lekan Senior Seminar: Semester 2 Final Presentation
2
Why is post-secondary education an asset? According to statistics noted through the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the more education a person has, the more money they make throughout their lifetime. Knowledge and skills cannot be foreclosed on or repossessed. Post-secondary education can open networking doors and allow people to meet other potential investors, heads of business, and future entrepreneurs.
