Chelsea Norstedt left Penn State University in 2014 just two semesters shy of finishing her bachelor's degree in criminology. As she explored different career paths, she had a similar figure in mind. College graduates on average earn more than those without a four-year degree — but this so-called college wage premium is shrinking. Now, bachelor's degree holders earn about 75% more over their career than those without. At the same time, Norstedt monitored listings on job sites like LinkedIn and Indeed for any higher-paying office roles that did not explicitly require a college degree.

A master's degree wasn't a prerequisite for a good job; my work during the internship earned me a job offer. I wish I had sought to get a job straight out of college. In hindsight, I realize the ideal time for an MBA is after gaining six to eight years of work experience. I also recommend getting a job or work experience whenever possible; it will teach you things that school won't. Take those risks, seize those opportunities, and remember there's no rush to pursue a master's degree.

☆ ‘A point of no return:’ Why Europe has become an epicenter for anti-tourism protests this summer

CNN —Anti-tourism protests have been sweeping across Europe this summer, with demonstrations taking place in the Netherlands, Greece, and of course, Spain. When anti-tourism protesters started to fire water pistols at visitors in the Barcelona city center on July 6, a moment that gained international attention, Ramirez said he could “feel the resentment” in the air. Frankly, I think it worked,” Ramirez said, reflecting on the ability of the protests to dissuade tourists from visiting the city. Jaime Reina/AFP/Getty ImagesIt’s not just housing issues that have generated a backlash against tourists, Ramirez said, adding that the disrespectful behavior of some has also played a part. Bad tourist behavior has been a problem across other parts of Europe too, including Barcelona, Mallorca, Magaluf and Benidorm, Ramirez said.

☆ America's demand for skilled electricians is entering a boom cycle

Every year, nearly 10,000 electricians either retire or change careers, but only about 7,000 new ones enter the field. "We're benefitting from a generation that's looking past high school and is not seeing a career going through the traditional four-year college pathway. Contributing to that shift are high school guidance counselors like Steve Schneider, who has advised students for 28 years, currently at Sheboygan South High School in Wisconsin. It offers high school students hands-on training alongside workers from local companies, introducing them to skilled trades and other occupations, which can lead to an apprenticeship after graduation. Among LATTC's 12,000 students, 4,600 are currently enrolled in electrician training, he said, adding that tuition is around $1,000 a year.

Fewer people are quitting their jobs, and recent college graduates are having a hard time breaking into the market. Hiring might have fallen beneath its pre-pandemic levels, but there are still dozens of jobs companies are desperate to fill, according to new research from Indeed.

She has an associate's degree in business administration and had exclusively worked in hospitality up to that point.

About 80% of JP Morgan Chase's current roles for "experienced hires," or candidates with full-time work experience, don't require a college degree, a company spokesperson confirmed to Fortune. For context, 62% of Americans don't have a college degree, according to the latest Census data. That means degree requirements can lock out millions of job seekers with alternative qualifications from high-paying opportunities.

Businesses across all industries are recruiting project managers to keep up with the rapid advancement of different technologies and adapt to lingering disruptions from the pandemic, Logan adds.
