6 Reasons for Getting Your High School Diploma

Graduating from high school and earning that high school diploma is important - more important than you may realize. There are real benefits to having a high school diploma and we'll tell you what they are.

1. Career Opportunities

If you want to make more than minimum wage you’re going to need a high school diploma!


With a high school diploma, or even better - a college degree, you're more likely to land a job with a higher salary!

2. Furthering Your Education

In 2019, a college degree is becoming more and more important.


But in order to further your education at any type of college – whether it’s community college, a four-year university or an online university – you’ll be required to have a high school diploma.

3. Higher Salary

According to research, graduating from high school will determine how well you live for the next 50 years of your life.


  • High school graduates earn $143 more per week than high school dropouts.


  • College graduates earn $336 more per week than high school graduates ($479 more per week than high school dropouts).

4. Staying Employed

Statistics show that individuals who complete high school in four years are less likely to be unemployed.


People who never completed high school had a 16.3% unemployment rate eight years later!

5. More Opportunities

A high school diploma offers more lifetime opportunities beyond the job.


  • You're more likely to live above the poverty line, giving you the opportunity to apply for home, car or school loans.
  • With a high school diploma, you'll most likely live in a low crime rate neighborhood and not have any trouble with the law yourself.

6. Additional Incentives

Not only will you feel good about yourself when you graduate from high school, but it helps protect your physical health and inspires those around you.


Earn your High school diploma, and become a role model to younger siblings, or your own kids and grandkids! This will encourage them to stay in school!
