Our schools need to do a better job of training our people to find employment after they graduate from school. And we need to have better programs to get graduates into jobs.
In the old days the college students would get hired before they even graduated from school, there was such a demand for college graduates, they would graduate and then maybe they would backpack around Europe before going to work at a job that they had all lined up.
And college graduates need to be paid more money than people who did not attend college. A college degree needs to be of value. And for your supervisors, and managers, etc, it is worth it to pay a little more money to hire a college graduate. My father worked for the Los Angeles County Road Department when I was born, and they sent him to Pepperdine University to study to be a supervisor for them, they wanted their supervisors to attend college.
For the Business students, from Pepperdine in Malibu, etc, the Business students need to be given business loans after they graduate from Business school. The Business graduates are the ones who are creating the jobs, we need to make sure that they have access to business loans. Pepperdine can even have their own little operation giving business loans to their graduates, the Business students could go to an office on campus and apply for a loan to start a business after they graduate from college, and people can help the graduates to assure their success.
Also our Film schools, and Acting schools, need to be connected with the local Studios, etc, to better help the students to attain jobs after they graduate. And the people in the Entertainment Industry really enjoy their jobs, and the Casting Directors enjoy going to see plays to discover the stars of the future, etc, and the people in the Entertainment Industry love film festivals, etc. The Entertainment Industry is a fun industry, and we are lucky to have all of the major studios here in Hollywood. The students need to go straight from school into great jobs.
The Antelope Valley has the Aerospace and Defense Industries. The Space Shuttles were built in the Antelope Valley, and the AV built a lot of great top secret planes and satellites and stuff. Antelope Valley College needs to train the students for local jobs building airplanes and building spaceships, and making satellites, etc. The students need to go right from attending AVC to going to work building planes, or whatever.
Anaheim has Disney. The college students can graduate and go to work for Disney. Disney has a lot of minimum wage jobs, but Disney also has good high paying jobs, and the students can train for the good high paying jobs at Disney. Then the graduates can go right to work for Disney.
Our Medical students from UC Irvine and other Medical Universities are making medical breakthroughs and we have great research companies like AMGEN in Thousand Oaks, and we have Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills, and we have many other great hospitals to create jobs for the Medical students and for the scientists. Some students end up as teachers at the universities where they studied. And as the Baby Boomers are older now, we need more doctors and nurses. So, there needs to be programs to make sure that the Medical graduates go right into a good job after they graduate.
Those are a few ideas, you get the point. New York needs to make sure that the college students go right to work at the New York Stock Exchange, and at the Bank of New York, and at Broadway, etc. College is worthwhile, and we need to make sure that people are rewarded for their hard work of attaining college degrees, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
