  The Cost For One Extra Year of College!!

Career indecision for students entering college often leads to extra time to complete a four-year degree. Just one extra year can add over $60,000 to the cost of a four-year degree, when your child's missed income is added to the extra college costs.

According to The College Board, the average 2008-2009 annual cost for a public college is $14,054. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) lists the average 2009 starting salary for someone with a bachelor's degree at $48,633. The total of the extra college costs and the one year delay in a job start equals $62,687.

You can avoid this high cost by getting your high school teen engaged in a career planning process.  In addition to saving money, career planning for high school students will benefit your teen in the following important ways:

•  Develop informed career path alternatives.

•  Identify workplace skills required to succeed.

•  Develop marketable skill advantages.

•  Learn how to market oneself to employers.
