Answer 1

A bit of experience to match your education. Unfortunately, education isn't exactly what it's cracked up to be: mainly, education USED to be the ONLY way to learn things... and now, it's so streamlined to learn exactly what they want to show you that you miss a lot of experience.

You will need experience.

Don't expect a high paying job out of school. In fact, you may not be able to expect a job at all, and have to go diggin for one. Experience in that would help.

Experience in how to handle money for yourself, for your future family. Experience in how to handle savings for money that you won't see 30-40-50 years from today. Experience in how to shop to save money. Experience in how to not fall for hyperconsumerism and to not be swayed by the Media.

Experience in how to handle stress.

Experience in how to learn newer things, and most of all;

Experience in changing. Humans arn't trees, and we're expected by life to change. If you refuse to change, you will never gain experience. If you refuse to try things, you will never gain experience.

You're doing great for going to school - it gives you the means to know, but it does not give you the experience of life.

If you work hard, you will enjoy a future with exactly what you want it to be filled with.

Work hard does not mean go to school and get good marks. Work hard means strive and win over ANY and ALL things that life throws at you. If a door closes, make yourself a new one. Don't ever stop trying to be better, don't ever think you're the best you'll ever be. Always keep going forward.

Life will throw so many things at you.

Horrible horrible things that you can't even expect. You will lose loved ones, the perfect job, you may invest all your life and suddenly find that your money has dissapeared. You may become paralized, or die very young.

If you want to win, you have to work hard. You have to win.

Focus on that, and try to understand it. The younger you are when you do understand the "grand message" of such a little sentence - the easier your life will be. Because you'll be ready.

Answer 2

Education is an important thing, but something even MORE important is experience. When making a resume, it's better to put your experience first before you put what your education is. Think of it like this:

If you went to Fast Food University and then went to Burger King for your first job with no experience, they might not take you. Sure, you have the theoretical knowledge but can you actually DO THE JOB? They have to use time and money to interview you, train you, and hope that you can do the job. They're basically taking a chance on you, and companies don't like to do anything that has risk involved(on a small scale).

Now what if didn't go to Fast Food University but you had experience working at Wendy's for two years, and then applied for the same job at Burger King? They would probably prefer to have you because you know the general in's and out's of how to work in a fast food restaurant. Sure, you didn't sit in class for it but you have real-life experience which usually is very different from what you learn in a classroom.

Think of it in a different way: if you wanted to try out for your school's swim team, would you go to the library and read a book about swimming or go practice swimming and learn how to do it better?

What I'm saying is that although it's good to go to school and such, you should also have some experience. That's like saying "I already know how to do this job and the only thing I need to learn is your way of doing it."

Hope that helped.

Answer 3

Yes, your parents are right.
Though, just studying good won't help you achieve that.

1. You have to study VERY good...
2. Learn as much as possible, mostly things that are out of your school/university program. Since tomorrow when you go to get a job your broad knlowledges will help you.
3. Try to get some intern jobs (low paying jobs which will let you work/spend some time near real proffesionals). Hands on experience will help you identify your priorities and you'll see and understand how to implement your knowledges in real life. That will also help you determenine what else you need to learn.

Yes, people do say...al jobs suck... it's not true...
I'll tell all those who don't like their job...
have you ever tried to do a job of "lower" rank than is yours? (don't blame.... for the "lower rank" expression... but eveybody should agree that job ranking exists). Well I did... THAT SUCKS.. really.... Do you know how many people are dreaming of job which would keep them 8 hours a day 5 days a week in the office, and same time get enough money to support them and their family???


Well, I think you got my advice STUDY, STUDY WELL, STUDY VERY WELL, and as much as possible.. Don't forget to build some hands on experience!.
Good Luck...



P.S. I hope this helps.. this strategy worked for me!
at the age of 18 I was totally indipendand by financial means, able to work and study, and now when I am 22 with Bachalor's degree I have a very cool job and also planning to continue my education sometimes next year.

Answer 4

School is a good place to start. Parents normally tell kids that they need to go to school so that they will able to get a good job and afford all the luxury items that wiill be required. Not true!!

Sometime you work so many hours at various jobs and you can barely survive on the salary. Celebrities are the ones with all the luxury items because they get paid a six figure pay cheque- this is not the norm.

I would advise you to stay in school though because at least you will have some qualifications in order to get a job as opposed to being unemployed.

Answer 5

You will get a good job depending on what kind of job you feel you'd enjoy doing. I suggest you find as much info on jobs so you can decide which you'd like.

And then work hard on the field where that job is in, like in medicine try to find volunteer work at hospitals so you'd be familiar with the work environment and see how people who work in this field are managing their careers.

Expand your knowledge beyond what the textbooks say and the things you learn within the confines of the academic world. Get out there and experience working and interacting with people who work in jobs ou are interested in. Ask questions and consider the pros and cons. Attend seminars, lecture forums and workshop so you'd have additional credentials to present in your resume.

Once you have amassed impressive academic and professional credentials, you might catch the attention of the hiring manager or recruiter and make you the primary candidate for the job you wanted.

Lastly, you would need lots of luck and prayers before you get the job you dream of getting.

Answer 6

You have goals and you know what you have to do to meet them.
I would say that you are a few steps ahead than a lot of adults I know.
Keep up the good work, study hard and stay away form drugs.

Answer 7

you must have job experiences
or if doesn't matter if you have a bachelor degree in college, even service jobs won't hire you if you don't have previous job experiences
you even need job experiences if you want to study for master degree
and most employers won't even care for your school marks

Answer 8

Study hard and then go study somemore. When everyone goes out to party you go study. There will be time for parties and girls and stuff like that after school. Help your partents at home and go beyond their expectations of you. After school you will always have to work hard but use your head.

Answer 9

yes u must marred and be successful in Ur job

Answer 10

there are some people who work hard all there lives. and have nothing to show for it....but there not you, good luck
