SPR A P H N s & desi g n Featur e d Inside Regal Elegance Rock House Anytown, USA ARCADIANEWSONLINE.COM By Angela Copeland A n old question recently resurfaced: Should high school seniors go straight to college, or should they enter the workforce first? Those who argue that high school graduates should work for a few years before college may believe 18-year-olds are too young to make big decisions – that they will take college for granted, select the wrong major and incur high student debt before they know what they really want to do. However, sending recent high school graduates out into the workforce – or on a backpacking trip – is not the answer. Some say 18-year-olds aren’t qualified for many jobs. It can be hard to even secure an unpaid internship. A high school graduate may end up working in fast food, as a nanny or in some other entry level job. In my opinion these jobs won’t likely provide information about what career path to take. When a high school graduate does go straight to college, two things happen. First, they aren’t taken off their normal path. They continue their education and don’t end up delaying schooling or never going back. Second, they will meet many other students who have different backgrounds and experiences, and knowledge about various careers. They can also network with professors and career advisors who can expose them to a range of careers. And, they will likely have the option to complete an internship or two that will give them real life career experience. All of these things can help students have a better chance of making the right decision about their future career. And even if a student still struggles with picking the right college major, it’s important to know that it is very common to graduate with a degree in one thing and end up doing something different in your career. A college major is often less important than we assume. College or career first?
