Wow. Yeah. Those numbers are not encouraging.
moto, should’ve went to UB
the 10+ years experience is key… surprised this is with no further degrees too. i would think you’d have to have a lot of masters’ holders or other designation holders for the averages to be that high even with 10 years experience.
and what a gap between 1st and 2nd.
I’m going into energy next
Oh, man…me and Lee used to have a thing back in the day. Went out a couple times and some heavy petting, but nothing serious. I haven’t seen him in years. How do you know Lee?!
Trust me I’ve had that conversation with myself about 26,000 times since I stopped working at Lancaster.
If I would’ve known what I know now back in HS/had an intelligent and useful counselor senior year, I would’ve been fine, lol.
Said it was his pops
the way the job market has shifted, people aim to hire 10+yr experience OR master’s degree’d applicants. It’s much harder to get a foot in the door with a bachelors these days. A bachelors is the new associates, and an associates is the new GED.
LOL
The way the job market has crashed and not fully recovered in the past 5-7yrs is a real damper on employment. You used to be able to find a job out of college where someone was willing/able to take the time to train someone new to the field (whatever field that may be)…nowadays people want to hire individuals with experience…
but you need a job to get experience, and you need experience to get a job. WAT?
I doubt any of the counselors could forsee the recession and by extension the cutback on funding to schools. I’m definitely glad I changed out of the education major relatively early on.
High school counselors push everyone to get a 4 year degree even if its in something stupid.
People could easily goto a trade school and be far better off for the rest of their life.
The idea would be if your entering college look towards the future for industries that are showing growth or just find something you love doing and hope it pays well.
exactly…isn’t that BS? they totally only do it for the ability to say “here at [insert school here], we have xx% of our students go on to complete a 4yr degree!!!”
That’s not the reason they do it. They do it because they care about education. They want children to go on and learn. Your high school counsellor’s job is not to guide you towards making money. It’s to help your further your education in a topic that interests you. The real truth though, is that parents should be taking a larger role in guiding you towards what is going to allow you to succeed and be happy in your future. A guidance counsellor can’t possibly take the time to get to know their students to the point where they really understand who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and what type of career they would fit best into. So without spending that type of time with you, they will resort to giving you generic advice. Oh, you have crappy grades and/or are clueless abotu what you want to do? Go to Community College then transfer out. Oh, you’re the smartest kid in school? Go to Harvard Law. Parents are the ones that have a better idea of what their children are capable of, what their personality type is, and what they are most likely to succeed at.
That’s no slight on anyone’s parents here, just food for thought. Where are the parents when kids are making bad decisions?
I don’t consider education a bad choice, it was an excellent choice 5-6 years ago. My family is all employed in the education field, so I followed suite.
The problem is the changing job markets, and like Brandon (Event) said, the economy tanking doesn’t help either.
A single mother of five children could encourage her daughters to develop their technical skills in whoring, and work their way up the strip club ladder, eventually to partner even
There are no ladders in strip clubs, only poles.
First let me say, I AM NOT AGAINST COLLEGE.
This video is interesting though…

glad to see the wife and i were able to over party and get overpaid with our PSU degrees
Is there anything you don’t have a conspiracy on?
This is why you should get an internship. 60% of the time, it helps every time.

…What? It’s making fun of creationists, what does that have to do with conspiracy theories?
