Let's face it–not everybody likes going to school and high school can be a terrible experience for many students.  Whether you're the hands on type who preferred Shop class to English class, or an athlete who liked working as a team more than studying alone, or even someone who liked schoolwork more than schoolmates; the idea of four more years of school is unbearable.  If you identify with any of these types, but still want to secure a good future, there are some great options out there for you.

The idea of being self-employed appeals to many people who want the possibility of unlimited income, a flexible schedule and perhaps the opportunity to work from home.

There are many educational choices for this year's crop of graduating seniors. Traditional colleges, both four-year colleges and community colleges, are becoming less and less of a "fit" for students. Long times to graduate, waiting lists for popular programs, or outdated curriculum for modern careers are all compelling reasons to seek other sources of education. Indeed, only 30% of students who enter a four year college actually graduate. Of those who do graduate, large portions don't even find work in their chosen field.
