Without a college education, life in itself will be difficult. However you can still be suc- cessful without a college edu- cation if you are fortunate and motivated to be worthwhile in life, said Arlene Rhoden. Nowadays, a high school di- ploma isn ' t enough to succeed in the real world. There ' s too much competition. It is almost necessary to have completed 4 years in college to attain a re- spectable and decent job to support yourself and or your family, said Dennis Tan. There is a growing demand for a college education. In a few years it will be necessary to not just have a college educa- tion but some kind of degree too, said Sonu Malhatra. What? No college? U, CLA, Berkley, UCSD, UC Davis, Pepperdine, to name a few are some of the places where many seniors will look toward to after graduating high school. But to some, going to college is not on their person- al agenda. An occupational center of trade school are some of the many college alter- natives. After I graduate, I plan taking the sum- mer off and enroll into cosmotology where you learn how to cut hair, do nails, make- up, and everything you need to know about appearance at the Wilfred Beauty Acade- my in downtown L.A. I also want to open up my own trade school, many seniors go there to build up more knowledge about the cer- tain trade they want to make a living out of. Since I ' m going to the field of Fashion Merchandising, some of my choices of school are Santa Monica City College, Los Angeles Trade Tech., and the Fashion insti- tute of Design and Merchandising. I hope ril be able to do my best and succeed, said Carolina Alexandra. An occupational center is also another By Koty Mukasa alternative for grad uates. This is where the cost is little and it teaches many trades but teaches enough of one trade to keep a steady job. Such trades range from Auto Mechanics to Cosmetics. I learned a valuable trait at the VCR Repair Service at the Abe Freedman Occu- pational Center. I learned the basic me- chanics of a VCR, the most common prob- lem that occurs, and how to clean it. I went for sixteen Saturdays for eight hours a day. I see VCR repair as a means to pay for my college education, said Reginald Hunts- man. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Marines or simply the Armed Forces is where some seniors will go after graduat- ing. Serve for two years and college is free! This might sound easy but some don ' t go to the Armed Forces to get in college. I joined the Army as an alternative to college because I didn ' t have the grades to get into one. I also want to become a police officer and I get on the job training in the military, said John (Beazly) Craig. Senior Class of ' 89 106 College Alternatives Seniors
