College or Work after High School? Tell Me Please!
One of the toughest career decisions for high school students and their parents is whether to get a job and settle down in that for the rest of their lives or to continue their studies in college. Three to five decades up the line, this would not have been a question at all that would make you lose sleep. The post World War II era saw many industries flourish and needing workers to ‘man’ their businesses. That was when they took high school graduates and trained them for routine jobs, mostly on factory floors.
The Present Scenario: Will It Support High School Graduates?
The rise of technological advances, fast paced work styles catering to newfound lifestyles and the latest buzzword ‘globalization’ in the last two decades has changed the present job market scenario entirely.
High school children of WW II veterans who got easy jobs were trained by their employers for specific jobs. This is obviously is a far cry from the situation today. Time, competition and budgets don’t permit such ‘on job’ training any more. Employers and new age industry captains are looking for college graduates for specialized jobs. For example: jobs like healthcare workers and software engineers can only be taken by those who are college trained because of their specific courses.
It could unfortunately be harsh on those can’t afford an extra 3-4 years of college. But in reality, high school graduates are more and more relegated to low end physical or routine non-challenging mundane jobs where entry-level salaries and growth opportunities are far from being lucrative.
But A College Degree Is Expensive and It Is Another 4 Years!
A recent survey suggested that the average employee changes jobs about 7 times in his or her career. The apparent reason is growing opportunities for trained and educated employees. But if you took a deeper look, employers are not in any position to wait for employees to train on the job. They seek candidates with pre-developed skills that match the job requirements, resulting in a soaring demand for college graduates.
It’s obvious that education opens new vistas of faster and better growth. Education loans from the Federal Government or private banks can help open your first job account with almost double the paycheck. College graduates have a better scalability factor in their careers than others. A $40,000 loan for a 4-year college degree can be easily paid back in 10 years including the 5% interest. The fact that the 4 years you spend in college plus the $40,000 can be made good in the next 3-4 years easily should stand as unbeatable testimony in favor of college education. The United States Census states that college graduates, in their career, will earn $2.1 million against $1.2 million for high school grads.
Unless there is some thing else that you know, all indicators point in favor of college. Higher raises, promotions, and postgraduate education- flights of progress- all require just one platform, and that is college graduation.

Graphic Design As A Career After Finish High School
Topic: What is Graphic Design?
The term graphic design can refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines which focus on visual communication and presentation .Various methods are used to create and combine symbols, images and/or words to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce the final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.
Education for Graphic Design
The majority of schools, colleges, universities and institutions around the world educate students on the subject of graphics and art.
In a Delhi based ADMEC Multimedia and Graphic Design Institute, this subject is taught in a broad variety of ways, each course teaching its own distinctive balance of craft skills and intellectual response to the client’s needs.
This Institute prioritizes traditional craft skills—drawing, printmaking and typography—over modern craft skills. Other courses may place an emphasis on teaching digital craft skills. Still other courses may downplay the crafts entirely, concentrating on training students to generate novel intellectual responses that engage with the brief. Despite these apparent differences in training and curriculum, the staff and students on any of these courses will generally consider themselves to be graphic designers.
Graphic Design Uses:Â
Common uses of graphic design include magazines, advertisements, product packaging and web design. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements.
Graphics are visual elements often used to point readers and viewers to particular information. They are also used to supplement text in an effort to aid readers in their understanding of a particular concept or make the concept more clear or interesting. Popular magazines, such as TIME, Wired and Newsweek, usually contain graphic material in abundance to attract readers, unlike the majority of scholarly journals. In computing, they are used to create a graphical interface for the user; and graphics are one of the five key elements of multimedia technology. Graphics are among the primary ways of advertising the sale of goods or services.
Business
Graphics are commonly used in business and economics to create financial charts and tables. The term Business Graphics came into use in the late 1970s, when personal computers became capable of drawing graphs and charts instead of using a tabular format. Business Graphics can be used to highlight changes over a period of time.
Advertising
Advertising is one of the most profitable uses of graphics; artists often do advertising work or take advertising potential into account when creating art, to increase the chances of selling the artwork.
Political
The use of graphics for overtly political purposes—cartoons, graffiti, poster art, flag design, etc—is a centuries old practice which thrives today in every part of the world. The Northern Irish murals are one such example.
Education
Graphics are heavily used in textbooks, especially those concerning subjects such as geography, science, and mathematics, in order to illustrate theories and concepts, such as the human anatomy. Diagrams are also used to label photographs and pictures.
Educational animation is an important emerging field of graphics. Animated graphics have obvious advantages over static graphics when explaining subject matter that changes over time.Â
Many of the Illustrated Dictionary uses graphics and technical illustrations to make reading material more interesting and easier to understand. In an encyclopedia, graphics are used to illustrate concepts and show examples of the particular topic being discussed.
Film and animation
 Computer graphics are often used in the majority of new feature films, especially those with a large budget. Films that heavily use computer graphics include Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Harry Potter films, Spider-Man and War of the Worlds.
There are many career paths to take within the field of graphic design. Graphic designers may choose to work as book designers, in web design, branding, illustration, logo design or often a combination of several fields. Belong is an ongoing list of job options within the field of graphic design.

Homeschool Options for High School Students
The number of parents in today’s world that opt for homeschooling their children is increasing on account of the many advantages that homeschooling offers. Safety concerns, quality of education, attendance issues, attitude of teachers, needs of an individual child that are not met in public schools etc; these are some of the factors that are keeping the parents away from sending their children to public schools. Home schooling children is coming up as a highly rewarding option to guide your child and watching him grow with the satisfaction that the child has got the best foundation for a successful future ahead.
The fact that homeschooling is only meant for elementary levels is misleading. High school homeschooling is becoming equally popular. High school homeschooling option is more advisable as at the high school level not just the parents but also the student or the child is big enough to make sound decisions.
Adolescents or teenagers take the decision for homeschooling to ease out the pressures at school, like bullying, peer pressure or the pressure of keeping pace with the regular school curriculum. Some high schoolers also do not like to be tied down in the regular schools and may want to take internship programs, volunteering jobs or trainings that may give them hands on experience to prepare for the struggle outside school.
Home school high schoolers have the option of getting an accredited high school diploma from online schools that takes care of all the documentation like education verification letters and comprehensive official transcripts. Selecting the right curriculum and study material plays a very important role for high school studies. Internet is a powerful tool that can provide a lot of study material and support through networking. Homeschoolers interact with each other through chats, forums and message boards. Browsing through various subject sites on the Internet also enables a high school homeschooler to locate support groups in the subjects taken up.
Homeschooling for high school equips the teenager with a better judgment and decision making ability. This makes them more responsible as they actively take part in choosing the right curriculum and creating their own methods for studying. The students have the flexibility of choosing a variety of activities that provide them with a holistic development of their personality rather than forcing themselves to pursue a fixed school curriculum.
High school homeschoolers have the option of choosing from among various internship programs and practical training programs, depending upon the field they wish to follow. Some of the different courses that can be undertaken while completing their high school diploma side by side are, computer based trainings in trouble shooting and hardware, graphics, multimedia, database management and administration, web designing, software development etc. Training in these fields leads to a better position in the future job market.
Thus high school homeschoolers have better choices and opportunities to succeed in life, as homeschooling definitely equips them with more knowledge, work experience even though they do not spend the stipulated time or hours in a traditional public school. Hence homeschoolers trade countless hours in an old fashioned class room to earn their diploma and know the true value of life.

Teaching high school accounting What should I cover?
I’m teaching grade 10-11 accounting. No books or materials are provided for the class. I dug up an old book that shows how to write up the balance sheet and cash journal and all that. But isn’t this all done on computers now? Should it still be taught?
No, I live in Montreal and teachers have freedom to choose how and what they teach. There are “general competencies” in core courses but other than Quebec History, Math and Science there are no specific requirements to meet.
2.9 GPA, High School. Chances of getting into good college?
Hello. I’m a high school student, and I’m in my junior year with a GPA of 2.94 unweighted. I know that it could have been better, but the courses I took in the last three years were definitely challenging. I will get as detailed as possible with this. GT (Gifted and Talented) is a step beyond honors, but lower than AP. Honors has a weight of .5 in my school and GT and AP have a weight of 1.0.

Now I’m working on a feature film for either the Sundance, Slamdance, or New York Film Festival.
My SAT Score? I think it’s good. 2130. I might retake it for a higher score.
I’m still debating if I want to go into the IT field as a computer engineer, or want to become a film director, since people have told me I have amazing talent for it and an excellent vision.
I’m from Maryland, and I want to get into one of these colleges:
New York University (NYU)
Syracuse University
UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
University of Maryland, College Park
UPenn
University of Philidelphia
Carnegie Mellon
UVA
University of Illinois, Chicago
My freshmen and sophomore year, I couldn’t handle the workload. My junior year, I just worked really hard and I’m still working.
What are the chances of me getting into one of these colleges? And which one should I go to? If you could leave a detailed answer that would be great. Thank you very much. Highly appreciate it.
PS: Do colleges look at senior year at all for admission purposes? Can you explain to me what exactly they account in for your senior year?
MOVIE IDEAS FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL ACCOUNTING CLASS?
My teacher wants to show a movie for our accounting class but doesnt know any that would be relevant to the class. Does anyone have some suggestions? It needs to at least have a big business theme if not literally about accounting and of course it needs to be appropriate for school.
