If you're an adult who is thinking about getting more education to make a better life for yourself and your family, you're not alone. More and more adults are improving their skills and learning new skills by enrolling in college. And for good reason. Research indicates the total number of payroll jobs in Minnesota to increase to 3.3 million by 2028, and 67 percent of those jobs will expect training, certification, or a degree beyond high school.
Your Career Goals
Most adults change jobs and have career adjustments throughout their lifetimes. Some people, though, may see their jobs disappear, find that their skills are inadequate for new employment, see their wages stagnate, or realize that their field is no longer of their interest and would like to develop new career opportunities for themselves. If your interest in expanding your education also include a change in career, you should set clear goals. Understanding where you would like to be professionally will help you to make a plan for how to get there. That is, find a career path.
