Technical College
Did you know that more than half of future jobs will require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree?
These are high-demand jobs with good wages – and you can get the skills you need for them at your local technical college.
South Carolina’s 16 technical colleges across the State educate and train more than a quarter million South Carolinians each year – preparing a highly qualified, technically trained, and prepared workforce.
4-Year College
35% of STEM careers require a bachelor’s degree or higher. There’s no doubt earning a bachelor’s degree requires greater time and financial commitment, but the payoff can be beneficial in the long run, especially for students who pursue majors in science and technology fields. Receiving a well-rounded education, increased personal marketability, and higher earning potential are only a few of the benefits of receiving a bachelor’s degree or higher degree.
