Associates Degrees – Paid Apprenticeships – Technical Training Sites

+ State and Federal Minimum Wage Table is at End of Blog

We know it can be discouraging to make a low wage, but understand  a four year education seems like a large hurdle to overcome.  There are other options to create a more abundant income and future.  Why not consider an associates degree.?  To start, the highest paying two year degrees come from an array of industries.  Paid apprenticeships in a trade are often overlooked when trying to find a new path.  Fortunately, today we have many technical training sites both in person and online at our fingertips.

We hope you find the below table, 10 years of state and federal minimum wages useful.  We found it interesting seeing which states participate in the federal program. The grey column displays this years wages while the green column shows next year.  You will also notice that states and wages in red have a federal minimum wage in place.  The black text in the 2020 column shows next years raised state minimum.
