We will offer
Florence at least 15 more jobs. She can also amend her search by changing
her educational goal.
For example: If
she raises her goal to include a college degree,
we'll offer an alternate list of matching jobs, including many that were not
previously available to her at the
HS + 2 level. Here's one:
DIETITIAN / NUTRITIONIST ***
22000 New Jobs / 18% Growth Rate / OOH Page 284 /
More Info
Do you enjoy
teaching? Are you able to plan on a large scale while still assessing and
catering to individual differences? You will advise individuals and groups about
healthy eating habits. Educational and research jobs are also available. Work
settings include hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, schools, and private
practice.
Beyond college,
she could become a:
PHYSICIAN / SURGEON (College Plus) ***
212000 New Jobs / 24% Growth Rate / OOH Page 295 /
More Info
Are you
prepared to deal with people in physical and emotional distress? Can you stay
calm during emergencies, use your eyes and hands with skill and accuracy, make
important decisions using your own judgment? Are you interested in human
anatomy? You will diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries, and diseases. Long and
irregular hours.
But if Florence
decides to stop her formal education with a
HS
diploma,
her horizon will become more limited.
NURSING / PSYCHIATRIC HOME HEALTH AIDE ***
956000 New Jobs / 32% Growth Rate / OOH Page 350 /
More Info
Are you able to
be emotionally supportive to sick and/or difficult people? Nursing aides serve
meals, help with hygiene, make beds, take temperatures, and escort patients.
Psychiatric aides do much the same in mental health facilities, and also spend
some of their time in recreational activities with patients. Irregular hours
required.
Without anyone
preaching to her, Florence has learned that her medical interests offer
possibilities ranging from
Nursing Aide
to
Surgeon.
Is there a more powerful way to demonstrate the value of educational commitment?
