Recent Studies Show People with Doctorate Degrees May Live Longer
Most people recognize that people with doctoral degrees are given more respect than most other people in our society. An interesting article that was written by Alisa Cunningham, the Director of Research for the Institute for Higher Education Policy in Washington, D.C. offers some reasons why. She claims that higher education produces impacts that go beyond those that the normal person would predict.
Ms. Cunningham states that current studies tend to underestimate the benefits that higher education offers because they do not see the entire picture. A person who has a doctorate degree, whether it is from an online doctoral program, or an in class program will generally have a higher paying job than a person who does not. Further, those jobs are more likely to provide health insurance and retirement benefits than a worker with less education will receive. Better health care leads to better health and longer healthier lives.
