Jobs Without High School Education – Jobs Hiring Hard Workers
March 20th, 2010
Having trouble finding a job without a high school education? Well you’re not alone, thousands of companies place far too much emphasis in your previous schooling, and not enough in what really matters, work ethic. Even a monkey can be educated, but a solid work ethic can’t be taught. I realize how much people without diplomas/degrees are being discriminated on so I wrote this article to help those people.
You can earn thousands per month, and you don’t need a high school diploma or a college degree to do it. It’s called Ezine Publishing, and it’s a fairly simple way to make money online, but it requires quite a bit of work to be successful. You write articles and submit them to EzineArticles, and in your articles you include an advertisement. When someone clicks the link and makes a purchase, you get a solid commission. It’s a very effective high paying way for someone to get a job without a high school education.
How much can you expect to earn? Well that all depends on how much work your willing to do. As a general rule, well written articles of about 250 – 400 words make anywhere from 15 – 30$ a month. They continue to make money for about 2 – 4 years. So every article you write will make on average 720$ over a course of 3 years. Articles only take 20 – 30 minutes to make, so just imagine how much money you’ll be making after a single month!
If you’re interested in getting started in ezine publishing there is a few things you should know. First off, the entire process is entirely free. Writing and publishing and hosting the articles will cost you nothing. The only thing that will cost a dime, is learning how to write and publish these articles correctly so they will get indexed on Google. The schooling wont cost you an arm or a leg and it wont bore you to death like Highschool/College/etc. try to do. It’s quick and to the point.

Reality Check – Education in the US
March 5th, 2010
An online teacher poll of the week asked the following question: Do you feel appreciated by your students? Yes 60.0% No 40.0% Out of a total of 435 votes, only 60 percent of the teachers believed they are appreciated by their students. This is really sad.
The most recent U.S. Census Bureau says that about 33 percent of women in the United States that are of the ages between aged 25 to 29 had a bachelor’s degree or more education in 2007. This was compared with 26 percent of their male counterparts.
In a report called the Educational Attainment in the United States: 2007, among adults 25 and older, the stats said that men remained slightly more likely than women to hold a bachelor’s degree at 30 percent which is compared to 28 percent. The percentage for women rose between 2006 and 2007 up from 27 percent, but for men, it remained statistically unchanged.
It would appear from research that more education continues to pay off as adults with advanced degrees typically earn four times more than those with less than a high school diploma.
The report also shows that in 2007, 86 percent of all adults who were 25 years and older said that they had completed at least high school; 29 percent had bachelor’s degree. About 52 percent of Asians, more than half, who were 25 and older had a bachelor’s degree, compared with 32 percent of non-Hispanic whites, 13 percent of Hispanics and 19 percent of blacks.
The proportion of the foreign-born population with a bachelor’s degree or more was 28 percent, compared with 29 percent of the native population. But the proportion of naturalized citizens with a college degree was about 34 percent.
Workers 18 and older with a bachelor’s degree earned an average of $56,788 in 2006, while those with a high school diploma earned $31,071.
Among those whose highest level of education was a high school diploma or equivalent, non-Hispanic white workers had the highest average earnings at $32,931, followed by Asians at $29,426 and blacks who made $26,268. Average earnings of Hispanic workers in the same group was $27,508.
Asians made $88,408 among workers with advanced degrees, while non-Hispanic whites made $83,785, which is higher average earnings than Hispanics at $70,432 and $64, 834 for blacks.
Statistics also prove that as outside groups gets involved in a child’s life, assisting with their schoolwork, or family issues, there is a much greater appreciation for school, education and teachers as well.
