The idea of attending a vocational school is a good start. If you attend a vocational school also known as a trade school, you will be able to acquire skills that will help to increase your earning potential. A vocational school is ideal especially if you do not have a lot of time to invest in college pursuing a degree. The vocational school is an excellent way to develop training that will lead to higher paying entry-level jobs. For Example: If you want to enter the healthcare field as a nurse you may not have enough time to invest in a two or four year degree. However, you may be willing to invest nine months to one year of schooling to enter the nursing field as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVP); which is also known as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) depending upon the state in which you reside.
As a Licensed Vocational Nurse you could enter the healthcare setting with the ability to earn a good income. Please note you will not earn as much as you could if you had a college degree. However, you would be able to acquire jobs that are in demand. Additional vocations to consider include: cosmetology, automotive mechanics, and culinary schools. Keep in mind with the various vocational training, you can also use your skills to become an entrepreneur. Many licensed vocational nurses work as private duty nurses. Many cosmetologists and mechanics open their own businesses. Many cooks open their own restaurants or bakeries. These are just a few examples of vocational training, and what you can do with that training.
You may not have the desire to attend a college or university, and that is all right. Each one of us has a reason or desire to pursue the career path that we may believe is best for us. Vocational training is an alternative to consider instead of not pursuing any higher education. Vocational training always looks nice on a resume; because it shows that you have made a personal investment in yourself and in your education. The choice is yours, identify the type of work that you would like to do, and REMEMBER, Marlene says: make it happen.
