About DegreeFromAnywhere.com

Here at DegreeFromAnywhere, we believe that higher education is still one of the best investments you can make in yourself and your future. While the costs of college continue to rise, studies consistently show that those with a bachelor’s degree earn substantially more over their careers than those without one. Education opens doors to more job opportunities, increased earning potential, and greater social mobility.

Our founders met in college, where we developed passions for writing, research, and helping others. We’ve experienced firsthand how education expands your thinking, skills, and possibilities. As journalism majors, we gained valuable skills in communication, critical thinking, and ethics that serve us every day. Our economics minor also gave us insights into labor markets and financial topics that inform our career advice.

After graduation, we each took jobs that built directly on our studies. One of us became a business researcher analyzing employment trends. The other went into journalism covering education and workplace issues. When we decided to launch The DegreeFromAnywhere, we drew on all these experiences to create a website dedicated to helping students and job seekers make smart career choices.

At The DegreeFromAnywhere, our mission is to provide thoroughly researched career profiles, employment statistics, and compensation data for a wide range of fields. We spotlight in-demand jobs, project future growth, and analyze pay scales across industries. But we also offer insider perspectives on work culture, advancement opportunities, and intangible benefits that statistics can’t capture. Our goal is to give you an informative, nuanced look at professions that interest you so you can weigh the pros and cons and set your own career compass.

While we believe strongly in the power of education, we know that formal college isn’t the only path to a meaningful, financially stable career. Many well-paying jobs require specialized certificates or training outside of a bachelor’s program. We provide information on alternative career paths like these as well.

No matter where you are in your educational or career journey, we hope The Career Compass can help point you toward your brightest future.
