The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that more than three-fourths of future job openings will require more than just the completion of high school.
Career opportunities for young people who have education and training are increasing, not decreasing. What is decreasing is opportunity for those who have not prepared themselves, leaving only hourly, low-paying, entry-level jobs—the kind of jobs in which you spend most of your time working just to get by.
So how do you make the better choice? Well, you can start right now today taking education seriously. Learn about career fields that interest you. Find out what kind of training will be required. You have the same opportunity as anyone else. All it takes is preparation through education and training. Then, instead of your standing in line for a job, companies will be standing in line trying to hire you! It really can work that way!
