I have two teenagers, my son is thirteen and he’s in the eighth grade. My daughter just turned sixteen and she is a junior in high school. I explained to them why a college education is so important in this job market. It’s the reason why I choose to go back to school. Currently I work at the hospital as a Health Unit secretary, and also a Patient Care Tech. I explained to them that the job market is really tough right now and it may be for a while. Continuing their education is not an option, it is a must.
At the hospital it isn’t easy to climb the ladder unless you have some kind of certification. To obtain that certification, school is essential. Not only have I discussed college education to my children, I’ve also suggested good career leads for them. For instance, the medical field is a good field to be in right now. The baby boomers are getting old and a lot of them will be placed in a nursing home by family members or by their own free will. Nurses are always needed in a hospital. Also physical therapy is a raising and upcoming career that pays well in this economy.
College education is very necessary in this job market. It’s hard to find a job if you don’t have at least an associate degree in something. I decided to go back to school so I could secure a good job and make it through this economy. I choose to be a Registered Nurse because I am currently working in the medical field. If I haven’t decided to go back to school I would be stuck in my position with no room to grow at the hospital. Instead, I will be a RN, and I will be able to expand beyond the hospital if I choose.
