Many people determine that their best course of action to land the perfect job is to go to college. But before you can go to college, you have to:

• Figure out which college to attend
• Decide whether you will get an Associate’s degree or a Bachelor’s degree
• Determine what you will major in like accounting, computers, business, teaching, law, medical field, or others
• Where will you live while attending college (on-campus or off-campus)
• How are you going to pay for college

While making your decision about which college to attend, you will find there are many options.

• In-state versus out-of-state
• Public versus Private
• Two-year versus four or more years (in other words, what the highest degree they offer is)
• Open to the public or not

These are just some of the possibilities when it comes to your college choices.

Determine which degree level to strive for depends on what your ultimate goal is. Your occupation choice will likely drive which degree level you need. When you are fresh out of high school, your degree level choices are either associates (2 year) degree or bachelors (4 year) degree. From these choices you can climb higher up the education ladder moving from a bachelors to a masters to a doctorate degree.
