Andy, a junior in high school, is considering his options for employment following graduation. His uncle, a master electrician, has suggested that Andy consider an apprenticeship with his company, in part because the occupation is considered a “bright outlook” job and it also is becoming recognized as a “green” industry. Andy’s friend, on the other hand, thinks that Andy should go to work with him at his father’s contracting business as a plaster tender. Andy quickly realizes that the choice he makes at graduation will have long-term effects on his opportunities for career advancement and lifelong income potential. Andy wants to consider many of the factors affecting this important decision, including the education and training needed to begin work, apprenticeship opportunities, licensure requirements, and wages.
