A CERTIFICATE IS BETTER THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE!
But I don't even know what a certificate is...
Don't worry I'll explain! College certificates are a great way for students to quickly gain employment after high school. They allow students to gain expertise in a field without investing the time to earn a college degree. Certificates don't require a degree, students might only need to take about 30 credit hours at a college, which is equivalent to about two college semesters or less than a year.
Did you know that you can earn a certificate at a local community college or trade school that will increase your employment opportunities or promotion...? Below you can find a list of certificate examples that may be available to you
