The majority of the new jobs being created require higher skills, more education.

We should prepare our future workforce differently. It isn't just advanced STEM degrees. There are many jobs you can do without advanced degrees.

Education is not solely about earning a great living. It means living a great life.

A good education is a foundation for a better future.

I think the lie we've told people in the marketplace is that a degree gets you a job. A degree doesn't get you a job. What gets you a job is the ability to carry yourself into that room and shake a hand and look someone in the eye and have people skills. These are the things that cause people to become successful.

Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.

A high school and college degree are linked to greater employment prospects, higher earning potential, and the ability to contribute more to our communities.

The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.

A degree is an asset, but it doesn't mean anything by itself. It's just another asset. So is being persuasive, having good personality, being smart.
