In making a decision to go back to school to complete a degree, an employee should consider first?

the benefits only as related to income

the costs and benefits of obtaining the degree

the costs only for the degree itself

the number of classes needed

The costs and benefits of obtaining the degree ( B )

Explanation:

going back to obtain a degree has to be a very important decision to be taken and in ensuring one doesn't make a huge mistake the costs and benefits of obtaining the degree as regards to his career at his place of work or his overall career pursuit in life should be thoroughly checked first.

considering the benefits as related to income only is not going to help the employee to make the perfect decision and considering the costs only for the degree itself is a nice step but that alone shouldn't be the only driving force and even the number of classes needed is not so important.

The cost of the degree is dependent on his financial ability so it is important and the benefits of obtaining the degree is affecting his career so it is important as well.

the third answer is correct.
