Michael Bloomberg:
“… the current 2 million job openings in health care offer median starting salaries as high as $70,000, as well as opportunities for growth and advancement. So why aren’t American high schools preparing students for these jobs?
Too many political leaders pretend all students want to go to college. Students who seek to begin working immediately after high school often get shunted into antiquated vocational programs for jobs that are dying out. An overhaul of these programs is long overdue, to align them with both student interest and economic realities — and health care is the perfect place to start”.
