With just a high school diploma or GED you can start a successful and satisfying career. Each year almost one-third of American high school graduates go directly into the workforceeither because college is too expensive or real-life experience is the more appealing way to get ahead. The Careers in Demand for High School Graduates series profiles jobs you can land right out of high school and explains how to use them to build a fulfilling career. Chapters include a questionnaire to see whether the job is right for you, a description of a typical day on the job, an interview with someone working in the field, information about salary potential, advice on how to move up, and much more. Each volume in the series is based on one of the U.S. Department of Labors career clusters, introducing readers to some of the most in-demand careers in each field.
