The Importance Of Pursuing A Career In High School

A highschool diploma doesn’t get you what it used too, you will be lucky to get a job at McDonald’s with only a highschool diploma. People now want a degree, a furthered education that can be put to use. However at the same time people are so lazy in our country that they don’t want to or think they have to do anything more than the bare minimum to get a job. Then there are people who cheat the system and pay people under the table or illegal immigrants to do work that others won’t do. We can’t complain nearly enough how illegal immigrants come and take our jobs but we expect to get paid twice as someone who will do it for a reasonable or below actual price. Then they will do the job better than someone who wants twice as

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate is projected to be highest for those without a diploma or GED. However, those that have a master’s degree will have the lowest unemployment rates. Also, the 2018 estimated median weekly income for people with a diploma or college degrees are as followed: less than a high school diploma, $471; high school diploma, $652; some college but no degree, $727; associate degree, $785; bachelor’s degree, $1,066; master’s degree, $1,300; doctoral degree, $1,624; and professional degree, $1,735. There is a big difference between those without a diploma and those who have earned a bachelor’s degree is very noticeable. For someone to graduate high school and earn a degree in a career that one enjoys can almost immediately change their lifestyle and enjoyment of life. I, myself would enjoy my job more if I made a weekly income of $785, I do not want to work 40+ hours and barely get by. Many youthful people already know what they would enjoy being and by going to college not only will they have a job promised because of the degree in hand but they income will remind them of all of their hard-work. There are a few jobs that require higher education that does not pay as much as it should, but the one that come to mind first are teachers. Four years should earn someone an income of $50,000+ and yet after all of the hard work put into their career, the under-pay, and appreciation they still put their heart into their classes. A positive attitude about one’s job will create a much better work place and one worth being part

In the article “The Case Against College”, Linda Lee expresses her feelings about college. The article discusses why Linda feels that her son and most other people are better off not going to college. Not everyone is meant to go to college, but college is beneficial for some. For some it may be a waste of money, when they could simply go to a trade school or immediately start a good job right out of high school. There are so many people who have to go to college like nurses, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and professors.

When a student steps into high school, they are reminded that they have a practical four years before they hit the real world and that every year that is spent in high school grades are unbelievingly important. Students question themselves that if college is worth it due to all the stress they may have encountered over the period of time. “Skipping college because the pace gains has slowed is akin to skipping your heart medications because the pace of medical improvement isn’t what it used to be.” (Leonhardt) If a person skips college and would rather just to look for a job, they are only limited to certain types of jobs. It isn’t so much that employers are looking for a high school diploma, they would much rather see what type of degrees and the height of their skills they are accounted for. Yes, it may be

Every high school student becomes anxious when waiting for that day to graduate but as graduation gets closer we become more worried on what we will do next and how we will pursue our career out there in the real world. Senior year is about applying to any colleges or universities that will judge you based on how you did throughout your high school years. In addition, the career i'm going to pursue when I graduate and leave high school is in the criminology and criminal justice studies. With a bachelor in criminology and criminal justice I have a variety of jobs I can pick out of. My first choice is to become a customs and border protection officer because I want to protect what enters the U.S. and to keep terrorist from entering. My second

On January 22, 2001, I was born at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. My family and I traveled around for about a year and a half of my life before settling down in Augusta, Georgia. We stayed in Georgia until I finished preschool, then we moved to Greensboro, North Carolina. The first several years living in Greensboro were typical until I reached middle school. In my early years of school, I was the kid who was always so sprightly but when I reached sixth grade that momentum shifted. I let procrastination bury me alive in addition to my low self-esteem leading me into sadness. The only form of serenity during middle school was music. Music rejuvenated my state of mind and permitted me to be happier. Immensely being involved in the choral program at the middle school majorly contributed to my happiness. I received high honors while being in the program that paved my high school choral career to be astounding. However, my academic high school career did not quite meet the same expectations.

As soon as students begin their high school careers, colleges are looking for who will meet the requirements set to be accepted into college. Tulsa Community College specifically requires current high school students to make a certain score on each section of the ACT so they may take college courses while still in high school. For that reason, I took the ACT for the first time just after my sophomore year, hoping to score high enough for concurrent enrollment. Being a concurrent student allows me to receive college credit so that I may have more time for sports or extracurricular activities when I am an actual college student. My main goal is to major in music then have a career in the music industry. The music industry is a difficult career

Throughout the course of my high school career I have many goals I would like to pursue. One of those goals includes being accepted into both a two and a four-year college so I can hold a Bachelors degree in Science. When I do get accepted into the two and four-year colleges, I plan on working while attending school. Although this goal may be challenging, depending on my classes, I’m going to need a job to support myself. My GPA in college will maintain a 3.7. My field of study will consist of a Radiology program as well as an Ultrasound program to become a Radiology tech/Ultrasound tech. These two fields will allow me a greater chance of finding a job, plus it will supply more yearly income. After college I will be using the knowledge I gained

Foundations of successful career considerably rely on the early college life successes. It is a commonly believed and supported that, for a successful career, strong academic records are highly pivotal as they provide a solid and impeccable foundation to the career. And this can only be achieved through engaging oneself in all academic courses which are taught in every class of high school and college life. For this objective, undivided attention, effective time management, at college level for all courses are those fundamental conditions that bring and ensure academic success. Based on this perspective, U.S. high school students who engage in early college high school courses are more likely to have early

Throughout the journey of my highschool career I developed a passion for both sports of soccer, and track and I overall developed who I am as a person and what job characteristics would interest me for my pursuing future. I realized that I want my job to consist of helping others, and being active within the community which led me to the topic of criminal justice. After observing the University of North Carolina Wilmington's web page I reflected on why it would be such a good school for me to pursue. Im very interested in attending UNC Wilmington because it provides the courses i'm very interested in studying which are psychology and sociology and criminology. Another contributing factor that leads my interests into UNC Wilmington are the athletics

I believe it would be smarter to keep your General Ed going after high school because it is all still new and you’ve learned it recently which would better your chances in passing college exams and classes. Areas of General Ed I am most interested in are History and Science. Projects in those subjects are always fun and interesting. Although it can be fun, it is most important to get your work done. The best thing to do is finish all of the work before the deadline and then make the lesson you are teaching fun. I am always focused on completing my work and having it done by the deadlines and no later than the deadlines. I am also  really good at respecting my teachers while not interrupting their lessons or disrespecting them. If you expect

Glancing back at my high school years I would say it was difficult. I was not the individual I am today, I was indiscreet and dull. I wasn't worried about my principles. The beginning of high school is the most basic year that will set your GPA for what's to come. Raising your GPA won't be a simple thing to do. Concerning me I had begun with a moderate GPA, however, all through the rest of my high school years I needed to work hard to bring it up.

Having a part time job while balancing high school can be very difficult. Personally I am a very busy individual and would need a job to work around my schedule. If I were to get a job I would want something that interested me as a possible future career. I would want to be a electrician apprentice, This job sparks my interests and I am intrigued and want to learn about this more and more! I would be gaining training experience for the future and also be making money. I am a very hard worker and I would always be worth keeping around. This is my dream high school career!

To my understanding getting a job with a high school diploma was not enough because compare to those who did not go to school made as much as I did and even more. I notice that having a high school diploma would not pay as much as having a degree where you are an expert at and enjoying what you do. Luckily, I was not too late and learned from my mistake on summer vacation before school even started. A possible reason why I am in college is to fulfill my parent’s dream of going to school and becoming someone
