5. 4- Year Degree vs. High School Diploma
It’s no secret that, like the rest of Americans, college graduates are struggling to find jobs. Are there just too many of them over saturating the labor market? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it would seem so: only 27 percent of jobs in the U.S. require at least an associate degree and the ranks of under and unemployed college graduates are likely to grow over the next ten years.

7. Dental Business
The average annual overhead for a dental office (not including the dentist’s salary) is $350,000. The average clinician works 33 hours per week for 48 weeks, which is 1,600 hours per year. By taking the $525,000 average annual revenue and dividing it by 1,600 hours, we get $312 an hour to keep the office operating profitably. In other words, if a dental office can net $312 an hour after all expenses, that office should fall into the $525,000 average yearly revenue bracket.

8. Student loan vs. Business Loan
A student loan is designed to help students pay for university tuition, books, and living expenses. It may differ from other types of loans in that the interest rate may be substantially lower and the repayment schedule may be deferred while the student is still in school.
small business loan is an amount of money borrowed by a small business person to start or run a small business. Realistically, a small business loan is an euphemism used by lending institutions to describe personal loans given to small business people.
