About Education Towards Careers

Education Towards Careers is focused on developing a database of career options helping councilors in the education system better help guide young students toward a career goal instead of just finishing school. Too often the only goal a student has in mind is to finish high school or to go to college. While finishing school is a commendable goal there is an end to formal education and more often than not it leaves the student lost for what to do next. ETC wants to foster a system where at a young age children are exposed to more career options than just what their parents do and what they see through the media. ETC wants to help create a way for parents and teachers to begin finding out what career options apply to their children and students skill sets.

Education Towards Careers does not profess to have all the answers to solve the many pitfalls of the United States education system. Nor does ETC profess to be all knowledgeable considering education. What ETC wants to do is help to offer a more complete picture of what education is for.

Through this blog ETC will look to gather experiences from people who have gone through the education system and lacked proper guidance on career options.

ETC wishes to find a solution to college graduates moving back in with their parents.

ETC will post blogs on different topics to generate discussion and compile the comments left after each blog. Meanwhile ETC will be forming a database to help formulate a system where educators can present real options to students and parents.
