Answer 1

Something rare. DON'T BECOME A GRAPHIC or WEB DESIGNER, PROGRAMMER, or anything related to computers. NURSEs get paid bank.

NO COMPUTER SCIENCE!!!! Don't waste your time, there are a lot of people in that field already that cannot find jobs. In the dot com age, that was a good thing to study now it is just plain worthless. If you have to do something computer related stick to network admin, currently a good paying field and has job opportunities. But that won't be for long.

You won't get any job if you take liberal arts. Take science, engineering, architecture, business etc.

Answer 3

By "school leaver," I assume you mean someone who is about to graduate from high school.

The kind of jobs for you are:

hamburger flipper at McDonald's
associate at Wal-Mart
carry-out person at a supermarket
dock worker
warehouse worker
cement shoveler
road-crew worker
waiter/waitress
beggar


You see, the better jobs are reserved for those high school graduates who actually learned something. "High school leavers" get what's left over.


But, if you're interested in a profession or a well-paid occupation, then you'll have to abandon your dream of being a "school leaver," learn enough to qualify for college, and then earn at least a four-year degree.

Good luck, loser...I mean, leaver.

Answer 4

Nearly 6 of every 10 out-of-school
poor youth were school dropouts.
In contrast, fewer than one-third of
the out-of-school youth living in
families with incomes three or more
times the poverty level were school
dropouts. http://www.cbwl.org/researchandevaluation/documents/ResearchBrief1-03.pdf

In 1992, the estimated lifetime earnings for a high school dropout were $608,810. Compare that figure with the earnings of a high school graduate, $820,870, and a college graduate, $1.4 million.

However, there are resources for those who leave school. Here is a website:
