Point is, There was no real preparation in high school for what I wound up doing. The computer industry has blossomed so fast it's hard to keep up with it.
Now a days with outsourcing and the move from manufacturing to service orientated jobs, how can one plan for future employment?
I doubt if half of the high school students have a clue as to what they want to do in the future, and if they do, there's no guarantee that field of work will be available when they enter the workforce.
There are thousands of Liberal Arts majors managing fast food restaurants.
Not everyone can be a Doctor or an Attorney.

Social Studies, Science, English
A+ 97.00 B- 80.00 D+ 67.00
A 93.00 C+ 77.00 D 63.00
A- 90.00 C 73.00 D- 60.00
B+ 87.00 C- 70.00 F 0.00
B 83.00


Math
A 90.00
B 80.00
C 70.00
D 60.00
F 0.00
