(Khoảng mười sáu tuổi, bạn phải đưa ra một trong những quyết định lớn nhất của cuộc đời mình. “Tôi có ở lại trường và hy vọng sẽ học tiếp lên đại học không? Hoặc là rời đi và bắt đầu công việc hay bắt đầu một khóa đào tạo đáng giá?" Quyết định là của bạn, nhưng có thể đáng nhớ hai điều: tỷ lệ thất nghiệp ở những người chưa học đại học ngày càng nhiều và những người có kỹ năng phù hợp sẽ có lợi thế lớn trong cuộc cạnh tranh tìm việc làm. Nếu bạn quyết định đi làm thẳng, có rất nhiều cơ hội được đào tạo. Có được bằng cấp sẽ giúp bạn nhanh chóng tham gia nhiều ngành nghề hơn, và các lớp học buổi tối cho phép bạn vừa học vừa kiếm được tiền. Bắt đầu làm việc và nghỉ ngơi để học khi bạn lớn hơn là một khả năng khác. Bằng cách này, bạn có thể tiết kiệm chi phí cho thời sinh viên cũng như có được kinh nghiệm làm việc thực tế.)
