Ties to Tatoos by Sherri Elliott

For the first time in our nation's history, you have the potential of working among others who are from four distinctively different generations. These include Traditionalists, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials. Some of you are among the Millennials. Ties to Tatoos takes a look at what current and future work environments will be like. It provides tips on how to best perform among co-workers who have different ideas, expectations, and values then you do. As a young person new to the work environment, this book will help you to see where managers are coming from when it comes to recruiting, training, motivating and retaining workers.

Even though Ties to Tatoos talks about managing workers from all of these different generations, it has other valuable tips for communicating and working with individuals in group settings.

Why it pays to have a college education

According to a recent report aired on ABC News, it pays to have a college education.
Their statistics show that:
1) College graduates earn almost 30% more then high school graduates.
2) For every two guys who graduate college, three women do. They are calling this a "reverse gender gap". This mostly applies to women under the age of 30.
3) Single women under the age of thirty currently make more then men.

The more educated you are, the more chance you have at success. This is a great incentive to work hard during high school and not wait until your junior or senior year to make your future plans. If you are not sure where to get started, see your counselor or the librarian. Either can point you to some great resources to start planning.
