Does YOUR Career Reflect Your Personal Choice?

“Go to college” seems a constant chant for our youth. However, the value of a college degree is questionable during tough economic times. Good, quality level preparation at the high school level should be an imperative [my opinion!!].

Why send an 18 year old to college “just because” he/she got a diploma from a high school with a “push-out” system on steroids. Lack of knowledge at some minimal level or participation in a meaningful way makes little difference to those in charge.

Young people are often pushed into a career path without a personal choice. It’s often a family tradition, i.e. doctor, lawyer, accountant, preacher, etc. who want their children to follow the family footprint.

Just “because” is NOT a valid reason to choose any career path. No one should be forced or coerced into a career outside of their own interests. Everyone is entitled to seek a career choice that fits their love for life.

College drop out rates should be a telling sign for anyone. Unfortunately, there are those who turn a blind eye to reality because of government funds that keep the system running on easy dollars.

Technical Schools offer a far more practical solution for thousands of students who should be in school learning a “trade” Vs a liberal arts degree where they are qualified to pump gas or work at the dog pound, maybe sling burgers.

Waste of our personal or government resources is not the way for America to get back to work or survive an economic crisis. Many a loved one has taken their own life out of personal frustration with our educational system that puts pressures on some beyond their capacity to survive.

Few choices are more important to our happiness than when we are allowed to make our career choices without coercion from others. Parents, brothers, sisters, other family members, friends, teachers, preachers should allow all others in the family to make their own career choice.

Today, there are more career choices then ever before. Internet Marketing has become an exceptional choice for many entrepreneurs in America. Your own business through franchising or buying an ongoing firm makes sense for the aspiring young person as well as America’s under-employed executive.

Our focus and belief is on YOUR choices. In America we DO NOT choose the spouse of our children or anyone else. Certainly an excellent decision even if it turns out a failure. Same goes for career choices, right or wrong, the choice is on the shoulders of the decision maker and rightly so in America.
