Act II – The Engaging Action

Anchors (5 minutes)

Explanation (15 minutes)

Backup (45 minutes)

High school graduates should not work after they graduate because they still have that experience/ information lingering in their heads

Might not go back to college

If you take a job right after high school, you may find yourself putting it off year after year, and it could hurt you in the long run.

Some studies have shown that many students who wait instead of going to college immediately after high school never end up going at all

If you do not go to college right after high school, you could miss out on some life-changing experiences that can shape who you are and what you believe in.

More Stress

Working too many hours could cause your teen to become stressed out

The purpose of a job is to give a little more freedom by earning their own money. If they never have time to spend that money having fun, what is the point?

Studies show kids who work are actually at increased risk of drinking alcohol or using drugs.

If they take a gap year all this information that is in their minds will fade away.

By taking a gap year after high school, the knowledge that they just gained will fade away and will not be in their minds anymore.

In order for all this newfound knowledge to stay in their minds they need to keep studying.

Taking a gap year and not studying will cause the brain to think there will be no more knowledge to feed it so it will get rid of the rest of the info.

High school graduates should go into college right after HS because they will receive more benefits in the long run

Lower income

The more education you complete, the more likely you are to be employed and earn a higher salary compared to those who are less educated.

Staying in school allows you to hone and perfect basic skills.

As the job market continues to shift from physical labor to more specialized forms of employment, the skills learned in school are invaluable to obtaining employment and experiencing success.

Perks Make a Difference

college graduates are also more likely to receive perks, such as health insurance benefits, from their employers

encourages workers to keep excelling in the workplace and gain new knowledge and experience.

Not all jobs require a college education, but pursuing the highest level of education consistent with your career goals, talents and abilities is likely to pay off, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

If you work all these opportunities to flourish in college may fade away.

You won’t be able to receive the two free years at community college.

You miss out being able to receive money as in grants, scholarships that are just for 1st time college student fresh out of HS.

Miss out on free book for students fresh out of HS.

High school graduates who start work right after are comfortable with working.

They will start work and take pleasure in making money instead of looking at the bigger future

They will see making money feels good.

They will be comfortable with only providing a HS diploma at jobs because that’s a minimum requirement

They will be comfortable with the wages they are currently making and forget that furthering education will change their wage drastically

They will start to get lazy and not want to go get an education to make more money

Being able to wake up with no time schedule will make them too lazy to do school.

It will be harder to get into a classroom.

Their minds will be set on other things than trying to further their education

Money will start to be their “power” trip & not want to gain more knowledge,

Going out will be their new “knowledge”

They will not even think about going to school as an option for them anymore.

They will be comfortable at where they are at,
