- W848293829 abstract "But What If I Do not Want to Go to College: A Guide to Success through Alternative Education, by Harlow G. Unger 2006. New York, NY: Ferguson Publishing 246 pages, $16.95, Softcover Intended Audience(s): H, I Major Headings from the Table of Contents: Career Education: Alternative Routes to Success; Career Opportunities and How to Find Them; Appendices A-F How Is the Book Most Useful for Its Intended Audience? Career professionals can use this book as a reference when helping individuals train for careers that do not require a four-year college education or to help guide individuals who are not interested in or are currently struggling in a four-year degree program. The Top Five Things You Learned from Reading this Book: There are many valuable jobs and career paths that do not require a four-year college education. Job opportunities for unskilled and semi-skilled workers are shrinking. Not pursuing any education, academic or vocational, increases the chance for unemployment. There are 12 basic types of alternative education. Getting into college is easy. Getting out is the challenge. Therefore, individuals should take the most difficult high school courses they can to help them succeed in college-level course work. If you find yourself working with one of the millions of Americans who really do not want to or need to go to college or university because their talents and goals are in areas not requiring a four-year degree, you may want to introduce them to alternative career education. Harlow Unger's book, But What IfI Don't Want to Go to College, defines alternative education as practical training that will convert your basic skills, talents, and interests into a good job and a lasting, rewarding career. The variety of training opportunities available today opens the doors to hundreds of fulfilling and engaging careers. Within the first 10 pages, Unger connects quickly with his target audience, revealing a compelling rationale why college is not for everyone, along with data to support his message that a vast majority of new job opportunities and replacement jobs require only on-the-job training or alternative education. He also makes a strong case for career education and training beyond high school. Data on average annual earnings by level of education, as well as information regarding the decline of unskilled and semi-skilled job opportunities, clearly shows why career education and training is critical in today's job market. The message is clear that education, whether academic or vocational, is essential in today's world. The first chapter concludes with a thorough review of the 12 basic types of alternative education and the advantages and disadvantages of each type. With so many options, there is some type of training to fit the diverse needs of learners today. Ultimately, the right educational program is one that leads individuals to a good job, happiness, and success. In chapter two, readers gain information on how to pick the right training and career. An easy-to-use check list provides criteria to evaluate vocational education programs based on educational quality and educational results. …" @default.
