How do education levels affect salaries?

Higher education can lead to a higher salary. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand the impact of education levels on salaries and certain degrees, like firefighters, can help us figure out that relationship. The pay ranges by industry show the softer skills that are needed in different fields so this comparison is helpful for those who are unsure of which path would be best for them.

In whether you’re just starting your career or looking for a new job, getting educated as much as possible is crucial. The gap in salary between someone with a High School degree and someone with 10+ years of experience practising their career is very noteworthy.
