Question

Your parents always tell you that a good education is the key to a successful future. For those of you who have or will be graduating from high school, the promise (允诺)you made to finish your schooling has been completed. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn't sound too attractive(有吸引力的) , so what are your choices? Let's see, Choice l- You can live with your parents, leech on to them, and do nothing. Or Choice 2-You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we'll just suppose that they are not related(相关的).

Okay, so Choice 2 is obviously going to be more useful. You will finally be entering the real world. What would be a good place to start? Well, hopefully high school helped to give you some kind of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you won't like. Getting knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be good by helping you in your search to find the job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to research jobs and get some hands on work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in providing you with some valued experience. Internships(见习) or volunteering are usually a good place to start.

If you are ready to begin a job after high school, you will clearly be saving money from high college cost and happily making a living in your chosen jobs, From another point of view, jumping into the workforce is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to school and get a degree. Besides, a college degree will usually mean higher pay.
