<p>Im wondering if we staffed high schools with career & work counselors, like the one my D’s inner city school * used to have *, if students would be able to get jobs better than fast food when they graduated high school, or even if we would have a higher % getting vocational training or other education.</p>
<p>Correction: after my daughter graduated, the parent group apparently raffled off a car to pay for a career counselor & other academic supports.</p>
<p>I worked in high school, but unfortunately it did interfere with my studies. It was also my only EC. I didn’t graduate. My kids didn’t need to work, but they had volunteer jobs from the time they were 12/14 years old.</p>
