Although the level of unemployment in the US has slowly been dropping down to more acceptable levels, the rate among the young remains distressingly high. The competition for entry-level jobs is keen. The only way in which people can shade the odds in their favor is by having the right qualifications.

Rightly or wrongly, education has become the necessary stepping stone into all the better paid jobs. America has moved from a true meritocracy where people are hired because they are good enough, to an economy where people have to have credentials to confirm their ability.

So career planning has become essential. Choices of what to study and where to study it have become critical. educationonlineworld.net has put together a database from the lists of all the major organizations which accredit online courses and colleges, and those which produce annual rankings for those with the best reputations.

educationonlineworld.net recognizes it is not practical for everyone to leave home to study at a distant campus. The course fees and cost of living away from home are serious deterrents. Distance learning is the only way to level the playing field and get the better jobs.

The database focuses on three key elements:
• the quality of the curriculum;
• the cost;
• the percentage of people with the qualification for get jobs.

A spokesperson explains, “Sometimes you can’t afford the very best but, if you find a course delivering a qualification all the major employers accept at a price you can afford, this solves your problem.”
