College

A college degree can help you find a job, advance your career, and earn more money. Some people are nervous about attending college. But remember, your record may make you extra motivated for success.

There are two main types of college degrees:

• Associate degrees usually take two years of full-time college work, but some can take up to four years.
• Bachelor's degrees usually require four years of full-time college work, but some take longer.
