Thumper
Hi! I'd love nothing more than to have a furever home with great, loving, friendly people to look after me. I've had to take care of myself when I was a stray and luckily found the shelter just in time before the extreme weather. Everyone has been super nice to me and my happy side has re-appeared now that I feel safe and sound. My appetite is robust! I love my greens, carrot and timothy hay. I enjoy gentle hands, friendly people and lots of playtime. Can you do that for me too? Love, Thumper

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: My son is going to finish high school, thanks to a lot of prodding, but he says that he doesn’t want to go to college or university. How can I convince him that it’s the right thing to do for his future? Signed Frustrated Father Dear Frustrated: Albertans with a post-secondary education tend to earn more and are more likely to be employed than those without a diploma or degree.

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
In 2014, 76.8 per cent of high-school graduates were employed in Alberta compared to 85.2 per cent of those with a post-secondary certificate or diploma. More than 83 per cent of Albertans with a degree and 85 per cent of those with a graduate degree were employed according to the Office of Statistics and Information ( https://osi.alberta.ca). The average Alberta high-school graduate earned $23.28 per hour in 2012 compared to $27.30 for those with a post-secondary certificate or diploma. Those with a degree earned $33.72 per hour on average according to the Employment and Wages for Alberta Workers with Post-Secondary Education report. The difference may not seem all that significant, but multiplied over a 40 year career a worker with a degree will earn nearly $1 million more on average than a worker with a high school diploma. Alberta’s Occupational Demand and Supply Outlook 2013-2023 examines the anticipated supply and demand over the next 10 years for hundreds of different occupations. Top growth occupations include: managers, engineers, computer professionals, physicians, dentists, nurses, chefs, heavy equipment operators, and tradespeople. All of these in-demand occupations require post-secondary training. In fact, 60 per cent of new jobs in Alberta require post-secondary training. Young Albertans have an opportunity to make the most of our province’s prosperity by ensuring that they have the skills that employers need today and well into the future. However, not everyone is ready to attend a post-secondary program straight out of high school. Young people can learn a lot about the world of work by spending a year in the workforce. It can also give them time to gather some career ideas, start an apprenticeship, start their own business, or develop an appreciation for the value of an education. Try encouraging your son to explore his career options on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site (http://alis.alberta.ca). It’s full of helpful career planning tools, including: • CAREERinsite career planning tool • Occupational profiles on more than 500 careers • Video profiles of more than 200 careers He can also call the Career Information Hotline, toll-free at 1-800-661-3753, and speak to a career consultant. Your son may discover the perfect career or program like the skilled trades, where you spend 80 per cent of your time learning, and getting paid, while on the job. Good luck!
