Moeller students after high school
In the senor class at Archbishop Moeller Highschool there are hundreds of students who all have vastly different plans for their futures. Some are planning on going to college, trade school, or even the military to serve their country. Lots of the seniors are planning on going to college nearby like UC, Miami of Ohio, or OSU. One of my interviewees was one of the students planning on attending the university of Cincinnati. Eric Brown is going into UC undecided program but planning on picking up a major before the end of his freshman summer. He decided to go there because of their prestige business program and thinks that it will be easy to find a good paying job after college because of this.
He also likes the co-op program at UC because it is a good way to make money during college and gets you good experience that will look really good on a resume. Another interview I did was with Justin Coolahan who said he had a similar plan for his future with a couple of things different from Eric. He said that he was looking to go into the medical field so that he could help people and because the human body is something that he finds very interesting and something that he can see himself making a career out of studying. But he chose UC so he could also get that experience through the co-ops as well. Another path that I know of and considered is going to college and doing ROTC and then going to the military and becoming an officer right out of the gate.
I have heard of at least 5 people doing this and see why they would find this path attractive. Something that they have told me that they like about it is the fact that they get to serve their country. But the thing that got their attention is the fact that they get their college paid for by the military which is the main reason why I was considering it. But the catch with that is that after you get out of college you have to serve for a minimum of 4 years. Lastly the other option. The last option that I have heard people talk about is the path of going to trade school and learning a trade.
Somethings that they talk about liking is the fact that they do not have to leave home, It is very cheap, and right when you get out of school you get a high paying job that is much needed right now so it will not be hard to find a job in whatever trade field you go into. The main person that I know of doing this said that you get lots and lots of experience during this in the actual job that you would be going into unlike school where you have to sit in a classroom for 4 years before you can do anything. So out of these vastly different choices there are pros and cons to all of them like cost, living conditions, job experience, and job availability. But if it was up to you which choice are you picking for your future?
