For the high school students who don’t have the money, grades or just don’t want to go to college, there are other choices such as getting a full time job. It’s not always a loss in choosing to avoid going to college. A Degree would defiantly help you get a well paying job depending on the major you chose but it doesn’t always work out for everyone. After college students may have a loan to pay off and that could take a few years. High school grads can get a full time job and in the years they would have spent in college they may get raises or promotions.
Prototek Sheet Metal Fabrication LLC. in Contoocook New Hampshire takes pride in hiring high school grads. Larry Hilton, Shop Foreman, says, “They are young and full of energy”. Hilton explains that training younger people is much easier then experienced workers because they don’t claim they already know what to do. When using dangerous equipment like a four-inch grinder and the TimeSaver employees must follow directions exactly how they are given. One mistake could end up with someone in the emergency room, and this can be avoided by hiring of attentive eighteen year olds.
The start off pay is $8.00 an hour. Over time workers may grow their knowledge of the shop and develop their skills in other areas of this individual work place. This may lead to a raise in their pay, usually at $.50 intervals. A high school student working twenty hours a week and making progress can, over time, make up to $10.00 an hour as explained by Hilton. While in college there are fewer opportunities to make this amount of money.
