EMPLOYMENT

What is Employment?

Employment means you plan to get a job right after high school as your main activity. Maybe you’re continuing the job you’ve been working or maybe you’re looking for a new job. In either case, getting a job right after high school means you will be doing a job full time, being paid for it, and are unlikely to be taking classes to expand your knowledge or build skills.

If you’re ready to make some money and don’t want to be in classes for a while, employment after high school may be right for you. Going right into the workforce is a chance to put some money in your pocket right away. Important things to consider: what is the starting salary or wage, what are the chances to get a raise, what are the chances to progress in the company, and will the company help with future school costs?
