Vocational Training Provides Flexibility As we enter the eighties, competition for many professions is becoming much stiffen For present Science Hill students who will be in market for a job during this decade, this means a need for greater versatility. Many students have found voca- tional courses to be a wise preparation for the future for sev- eral reasons. An expensive college education can often be supported by jobs requiring vocational training. Even after a degree has been obtained, a vocation can be a means of support until a posi- tion opens. For those with both academic and vocational training the eighties hold better prospect of having a stable income. Besides opening better opportunities vocational training has other economic benefits. Some will find this training helpful in simply making home repairs which allows a higher level of in- dependence during escalating labor cost. While vocational training can be a supporting factor in prep- aration for a profession and making home repairs, many find in this area a enjoyable future occupation. Electric wiring requires exact knowledge of electric current as Cary Walters knows. Careful attention to directions is necessary as Tony Neal makes some minor corrections. Repairing an automobile is a highly difficult procedure and requires plenty of light. Tony Shade works carefully while using the band saw. 25
