 It is not unusual for a parent to hear "rock star" or "movie star" as a reply from an elementary or middle school student in response to the question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" When the high schooler in the family indicates that performing arts is their career goal, some parents get alarmed. Parents are often concerned that their kid will not be able to secure paid employment in their area of interest. |

 Remember when high school seniors could plan to go to college and assume there would be a job available when they graduated? Those were the good old days. Those were the days of your father's career plans. And they worked for most people.
Not so today. Not only are jobs scarce today in traditional career fields, but there will be new career fields and hybrids of several fields available when a student graduates from college that did not exist when he began his freshman year. |
