Have You Told Your College That You Want A Good Job When You Graduate?
Most colleges haven’t gotten the message. Students want and need good jobs when they graduate. However, to accomplish that goal, they need a lot of information and guidance along the way. Both students and their parents want colleges to step up and take a firm hold of that responsibility.
As long as students and parents remain relatively silent and docile on this issue, colleges will continue to only pay lip service to this critical need. These colleges will tell their students that they are doing what they can with the limited resources that are available. And yet, large amounts of money and manpower are not needed. Only a new way of thinking and a reallocation of resources would be necessary. That’s where you come in.
Students and parents can make their needs known by forwarding the following questions to The Chair of the Board of Trustees, The College or University President and the Vice President of Student Affairs.
1. There are things that I can be doing during each semester of college, between semesters and during the summers that will help me land a good job. What are they?
2. What yearly informational classes and training sessions are currently offered to students who want to become fully prepared to land good jobs when they graduate?
3. As a ___________ major with good grades, what 10+ job titles am I most likely to be offered when I graduate?
4. As a ___________ major with good grades, and knowing the job titles I am most likely to be offered, what salary offers can I realistically expect?

Only when enough students and parents express their needs and concerns will more colleges begin to investigate and adopt approaches that will help more students find success in the job market.
