The percentage of Americans aged 25 or older with at least a bachelor’s degree jumped 7 percentage points last decade, from about 29 percent in 2010 to 36 percent in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But there are career paths you can dominate without a college degree.
The U.S. Census Bureau statistic means roughly one in three U.S. adults has graduated from a four-year degree program. And if the trendline holds, the number of university graduates is likely to increase significantly in the years ahead.
