Posted on 9/13/2010
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), individuals with advanced degrees can earn an average of $1,158 per week. Those who wish to enroll in a master's degree program, in order to increase their salary, may want to consider online education. Web-based degree programs often give students the opportunity to create a flexible course schedule and complete assignments anywhere with internet access.
In order to ensure that learners are earning a degree that will have a high salary return for tuition spent, students may want to choose a program in an emerging field such as healthcare. The BLS reports that this industry will create 3.2 million new jobs over the next several years.
Administrators in this field are expected to have excellent job opportunities. A master's degree in administration prepares students to evaluate current trends and policy changes, and teaches them how to apply it to business.
Nurses who wish to earn their master's degree could also have numerous career prospects. These professionals can become nurse practitioners, who often have their own medical practices.
