Synopsis

Praise for the previous edition:
"This would be a good reference book for any high school or public library."—VOYA

A four-year college isn't right for everyone after high school, but do alternatives exist that will still lead to profitable career opportunities? Author Harlow G. Unger, one of the country's foremost education experts, assures readers in his practical guidebook that they can achieve career success without a college degree. But What If I Don't Want to Go to College?, Third Edition provides concrete, step-by-step information for students who wish to pursue career avenues or educational opportunities other than college—for instance, alternative and vocational education—after high school graduation.

This updated volume examines careers in 16 industry categories and describes the skills and experiences required for each. It also offers guidance for self-assessment and determining what essential employment skills readers already possess.

Updates include:

  • Employment statistics
  • A table of industries expected to have the largest number of jobs in the future
  • Fastest-growing jobs and training required for each professional field
  • Current statistics on average earnings by education level
  • Distance learning
  • Salary and job statistics by industry
  • Where to look for jobs and how to get hired.
