3 It s the end of the world as we know it. R.E.M.
4 [It is] just possible we have a surplus of graduates and a scarcity of [youth] with real skills. The rules have changed. The job market today isn t what it was when you were graduating from high school. Students have lots of options that can be overwhelming. Helping your child to understand those options and make good choices will get him/her on the track to career success. While in the past, a high school graduate could have a high-paying job without special training or technical skills, today, skills are the new currency. As unskilled jobs disappear, specialized, transferable skills become more and more important for high-wage employment. The fastest growing high-skill/high-wage occupations are being filled with what are called gold collar workers. These workers are resourceful problem solvers with job-appropriate training. They are responsible for intermediate decision making and often work in a dynamic environment. To get gold collar jobs, students need additional education after high school, which has a whole new meaning today. This includes on-the-job training, career and technical school, and community college education, as well as four-year degrees and beyond. The following graphs show the discrepancy between educational requirements for jobs and student plans for after graduation Projected Education Requirements for Jobs 38% Two-Year College 23% Bachelor s Degree and Higher 39% Short-Term On-the-Job Training Source: U.S. Department of Labor, 4 University of Pittsburgh, Institute of Politics, Human Capital Policy Initiative
5 Despite the fact that a majority of jobs require on-the-job training or two years or less of education after high school, a majority of students report that they expect to pursue a four-year degree. Students Post-High School Expectations 23% Two-Year College 8% Unknown 3% Military 1% Unemployed 9% Employment 56% Four-Year College Discussion? Question Ask your child what he/she wants to do after graduation. Discuss his/her top two career choices. What skills will he/she need to be successful? Source: Pennsylvania Deptment of Education Public Schools High School Graduates by County, School, Racial/Ethnic Category, Gender and Post-High School Activity Report For this generation, a university degree is just a ticket to get in line, and the line is to an oversold event. Kenneth Gray, Professor of Education, Pennsylvania State University Know the odds. Many people believe that a four-year degree is the ticket for getting high-skill/high-wage jobs. Actually, a four-year college degree is only one option for gaining skills and moving into the workforce, and the risks are high, including a 50 percent drop-out rate and more graduates than commensurate jobs. Average College/University Graduation Rate (six years) 50% Commensurate Employment Rate 43% 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% Source: Other Ways to Win by K. Gray and E. Herr The Rules Have Changed: Play to Win New Thinking on Career Success 5
6 Discussion Question To determine? some of your child s interests, ask: Which class do you enjoy the most? Pay attention to what kinds of books or magazines catch his/her interest. This is not to say that there is no value in a four-year degree. Depending upon your child s career choice, a four-year degree may be required. It is important for your student to explore career options and understand the educational and training requirements. Starting on one path toward education and a career does not exclude your child from changing and growing later in his/her career. In fact, most of us will have multiple careers during our working lives that will require us to get additional education that can come in many forms. Play to win. A student can choose from several types of education today, and each one can lead to gold collar jobs. Frequently overlooked educational options include: Technical and career education Trade-specific training Military service Two- and four-year degree programs Special certificate programs Students can become gold collar workers with each of these types of education, and gold collar workers are found in all kinds of jobs and at all levels. Some examples of the variety of gold collar jobs are below. High-Employment Occupations, Southwestern Pennsylvania Included in the following chart are several growing job fields in southwestern Pennsylvania and across the state that require different levels of education after high school. The occupations listed are a sample of careers that are considered gold collar. On-the-Job Training Two-Year College Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics/ 2003 Pennsylvania Career Guide Gold Collar Occupation Average Annual Wage Dental Assistant $23,280 Customer Service Representative $25,884 Desktop Publisher $26,590 Police Patrol Officer $52,649 EMT and Paramedics $24,079 Real Estate Agent $34,480 Paralegal $38,090 Electrical Technician $39,210 Dental Hygienist $42,220 Registered Nurse $43,847 6 University of Pittsburgh, Institute of Politics, Human Capital Policy Initiative
7 A parent s understanding is an incredible gift. Know your child and encourage self-exploration. Parents have the most influence on their child s career and education plans. Teachers, peers, and the media also affect students career decisions. As a parent, you have the power to help your child find his/her talents, interests, and abilities. Help your child match these characteristics with a satisfying career path. Begin by: Talking with your child about his or her interests. Identifying personality traits that can help your child find potential career fields. Helping your student get involved with volunteer, job shadowing, and part-time work opportunities in potential career fields. Discussion Question Ask your child? if there is a job or field he/she would like to try out. Help him or her find information on how to get a related part-time job, volunteer experience, or shadowing opportunity. Researching the educational requirements for careers that may be a good fit for your child. Identify educational institutions that offer relevant certificate and degree programs. Fact: According to a recent Junior Achievement study, 80 percent of high school students report that they expect to make $50,000 or more. The reality is that out of 1.1 million jobs in the region, only about 14 percent of all employees earn that much money or more. The largest percentage, 38 percent, earn between $15,000 and $25,000. The following chart shows the earnings breakdown in southwestern Pennsylvania. Earnings of Employees in Southwestern Pennsylvania 9% $15,000 and under 38% $15,000 $25,000 19% $25,000 $35,000 20% $35,000 $50,000 7% $50,000 $75,000 7% $75,000 and more Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics: Pittsburgh MSA The Rules Have Changed: Play to Win New Thinking on Career Success 7
8 Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes 20 years to become an overnight success. Getting there. Action Steps: Help your child use the following checklist* to learn about potential occupations and to develop a plan for after graduation. 7th and 8th Grades Work hard to get the best grades possible. Identify what you like to do. Participate in sports, art, music, dance, or other activity. Take foreign language and keyboarding classes. Keep up to date by reading newspapers and magazines. 9th and 10th Grades Determine your skills and interests. Find out about occupations that interest you. Identify skills you will need for different occupations. Volunteer or shadow people in occupations that seem interesting. Select an appropriate class schedule. 11th Grade Discuss your options with your parents. Begin narrowing your career options. Get a part-time job in a field of interest. Keep a list of your experience, activities, and achievements. 12th Grade Be sure your schedule meets graduation requirements. Continue volunteer or part-time work. Develop a résumé from your list of experiences. Explore educational opportunities and apply to programs. Decide on your plan of action for when you graduate. *Adapted from Pennsylvania Career Guide from the Center for Workforce Information and Analysis. 8 University of Pittsburgh, Institute of Politics, Human Capital Policy Initiative
9 Add it up. Let s Talk Cash: How Will Your Child Pay the Bills? Guide your student through the following budget worksheet to help him/her estimate future expenses. What kind of salaries are paid for the careers your child expressed interest in? Discuss ways your child can save money, like sharing an apartment with a roommate or riding the bus instead of buying a car. Explain the importance of saving money to reach long-term goals and to be prepared for unexpected emergencies. Budget Worksheet: My Expenses Housing (rent or buy) Utilities Phone Cable television Transportation (car, bus, bike) For a car include: Monthly payment Insurance Maintenance Gas Parking Subtotal Food Clothes and gifts Life and health insurance Entertainment Savings and retirement Miscellaneous (loans, haircuts, pets) Monthly total: Success is never a destination it is a journey. The Rules Have Changed: Play to Win New Thinking on Career Success 9
10 Get real. Bill Gates Top Ten In a speech to high school students, Bill Gates, chair and founder of Microsoft Corp., recently offered a set of rules for the new economy. 1. Life is not fair get used to it. 2. The world will not care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. 3. Most students will not make $50,000 a year or be a vice president right out of high school. You will have to work for that. 4. If you think your teachers are tough, wait until you get a boss. 5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger-flipping they called it opportunity. 6. If you mess up, it s not your parents fault, so don t whine about your mistakes learn from them. 7. Some schools have done away with winners and losers. Real life has not! 8. Life is not divided into semesters. You don t get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. 9. Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. 10. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you ll end up working for one!
