大部分的工资差距可以通过简单的以大学专业帐户来解释。儿童早期教育工作者和社会工作者可以挣得36000美元和39000美元，分别。相比之下，石油工程和冶金度承诺的120000美元和80000美元的收入中位数。不是很多有抱负的儿童早期教育工作者将改变方向一旦他们知道他们可以更多的冶金矿山赚。性别，作为一个群体，有点不同。女性，远远超过男性，似乎被吸引到工作在护理专业；而男性更容易在人的自由区出现。在追求幸福的过程中，男性和女性似乎走不同的路线。

Passage Eight
Until she went back to school at the age of 38, Christine didn‘t know what she wanted in life, or just how capable she was. A former model, she had limited workforce skills. So although she was working hard, her chances of finding a good job were very small. ―I had no other training, so when I retired from modeling, I didn‘t have many job options.‖ College wasn‘t an option- she wasn‘t even thinking about furthering herself by sitting in a classroom. ―I wasn‘t really interested in my high school classes. I wanted to get away from home and travel.‖ She did just that. Through modeling, she lived in New York, Los Angeles and the major cities of Europe.
A combination of moves helped Christine get her life back on track. She met her husband, married and had a baby. And she changed her environment with a move from party-town Los Angeles to Florida. That was an especially good move-because in Florida she went into recovery, and a friend talked her into going to college. ―She told me I owed it to
myself and that I could do it. She wouldn‘t listen to me. She even got the application for me, sat me down and helped me fill it in!‖ With this help and the encouragement of her husband, Christine took the plunge.
In 1991, she signed up for a full-time associate‘s degree program at St.Petersburg Junior College, even though she was also taking family responsibilities. ―But I was really lucky-again. On my first day at St.Peter‘s I met a female classmate who introduced me to a fantastic women‘s support group on campus: WOW (Women on the Way). We had our own lounge where we could study, get advice, get help with child care services, or just get away from it all. I don‘t know what I would have done without them!‖
By now, Christine had a good idea of what she wanted to accomplish. Exactly 20 years after graduating from high school and now in recovery herself, she decided she wanted to help others find their way through life productively, meeting their full potential. This time, unlike her high school days, she had a reason to apply herself to her studies. And despite a heavy schedule, heavy commute, a young child and a husband working out of state, she still found the time to get involved in campus activities.
The combination of direction, encouragement and personal effort was magical. Not only did Christine get an associate degree in Human Services, but she also graduated with top honors-and newfound self-esteem. ―I can‘t begin to tell you what a wonderful experience college was for me. I was involved, I was helping, I was achieving, and I had such support from my husband, my friends, my instructors and my fellow classmates. I had never felt so good about myself or my purpose in life. And I finally recognized my college education as a personal achievement no one can ever take away from me.‖
That‘s not to say there weren‘t any doubts. Christine thought she was finished with school once she had her associate degree. But another one of those helpful friends intervened yet again. With a little push, Christine found her way into the admissions office of the University of Tampa, seeking financial aid to pursue a bachelor‘s degree. Her Junior College grades and leadership abilities helped it. After another two years of full-time school, part-time jobs and full-time motherhood, Christine got her bachelor‘s degree in Social Work from the University of Tampa.
Since she was already working in the field of her choice-helping people –did she really need this degree? Maybe not. But Christine wanted the challenge, and she cherished the growth in self-confidence and depth of awareness her additional studies provided.

After graduation in 1955, she went even further to gain credentials from the State of Flor
ida as a Certified Addiction Professional. She‘s also a member of the Florida Counseling Association and is an Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. She‘s now providing counseling services, intervention and treatment over the Internet. She is also doing individual and group counseling in her community.
What is Christine‘s advice for others thinking about returning to school? Don‘t worry about how you‘re going to do it. Well, you can do it. How? You just do whatever it takes. You put one foot in front of the other. Junior college is an ideal place to start. They know how to deal with non-traditional students from the many walks of life. Your classmates are similar to you in age and experience, so everyone helps each other. In my experience, the administration and the instructors were very supportive and always encouraging. When you are in school, work hard and get involved, stay focused, and don‘t give up! There‘s always an opportunity for you. You owe it to yourself to take advantage of it. It‘s never impossible and, as in recovery, it is never too late. Most of all-as Christine‘s own change from social butterfly to social worker bears out-if you persist: once a goal, then a reality.
直到她回到38岁从学校，她不知道她想要的生活，或者只是如何能她。前模特，她有限的劳动力技能。虽然她很努力，她找到一份好工作的机会很小。―我没有其他的训练，所以当我退休的时候从建模，我没有选择，许多工作。―大学是不是一种选择，她甚至不想推动自己坐在教室里。―我不在我的高中的课程很感兴趣。我想离开家，旅行。―她就是这样做的。通过建模，她住在纽约，洛杉矶和欧洲的主要城市。
一个举措帮助克里斯汀让她的生活回到正轨。她遇到了她的丈夫，结婚，生了一个孩子。她改变了她的环境，从洛杉矶到佛罗里达州党镇。那是一个特别好的移动，因为在佛罗里达州，她走进恢复，和一个朋友劝她去上大学。―她告诉我，我认为自己和我可以做的。她不会听我的。尽管她有了我的申请，我坐下，并帮我填写！―这帮助和鼓励她的丈夫，她毅然。
1991，她报名参加了圣彼得堡大学全日制副学士学位课程，虽然她也以家庭责任。―可是我真的很幸运了。我在圣彼得的第一天我遇见谁给我介绍了一个奇妙的妇女支持小组对校园女同学：哇（对女性）。我们有自己的休息室，我们可以研究，得到建议，可以帮助儿童保健服务，或是摆脱这一切。我不知道我会做没有他们！―
现在，克莉斯汀她想做一个好主意。高中毕业，现在在恢复自己整整20年之后，她决定要帮助别人找到他们的生活方式有效率，满足他们的全部潜力。这个时候，不像她的高中时代，她有理由将自己的研究。尽管工作繁重，繁重的交通，一个年轻的孩子和丈夫的工作状态，她仍然有时间参与校园活动。
相结合的方向发展，鼓励和个人的努力是神奇的。不仅人类服务Christine得到学士学位，但她还获得最高荣誉和新发现的自尊。―我无法告诉你一个美妙的体验大学是我的。我参与，我帮助，我实现了，我从我的丈夫，我的朋友们的支持，
我的老师和我的同学。我从来没有觉得我自己或我的目的，很好的生活。我终于认识到我的大学教育作为一个人的成就永远没有人可以拿走。‖
这并不是说没有任何怀疑。她以为她完成了学校后，她准学士学位。但另一个有帮助的朋友再次干预。轻轻一推，她发现她进入坦帕大学招生办公室，寻求金融援助的学士学位。她大专成绩和领导能力帮助它。在另一个两年的全日制学校，兼职工作和全职母亲，她得到了来自坦帕大学社会工作学士学位。
因为她已经在她的选择帮助人们–她真的需要这个学位领域的工作？也许不是。但是克里斯汀想要挑战，她珍藏在认识她额外的研究提供了自信和深度的增长。 因为她已经在自己选择的领域的工作帮助人们-她真的需要这个程度？也许不是。但是克里斯汀想要挑战，和她所珍爱的自我认识她额外的研究提供了信心和深度的增长。
1955毕业，她甚至获得证书从佛罗里达州作为一个专业认证的瘾。她还对佛罗里达州咨询协会的成员，国际认证的酒精和药物滥用顾问。她现在提供咨询服务，在互联网上进行干预和治疗。她也做个人和团体在她的社区咨询。
克里斯汀的建议给别人回学校的思想是什么？不要担心你怎样去做。嘿.你能办到的！怎么用？你做任何事。你把一只脚在前面的其他。大学是一个理想的开端。他们知道如何应对生活中的许多非传统的学生走。你的同学在年龄和经验都和你一样，所以每个人都互相帮助。在我的经验中，行政和教师都很支持，一直鼓励。当你在学校的时候，努力工作和参与，集中注意力，别放弃！总是有你的机会。你应该好好利用它。这是永远不可能，在恢复，这是永远不会太晚。最重要的是克里斯蒂娜自身的变化从社会蝴蝶社会工作者证明了如果你坚持一个目标：一次，那么现实。

Your algebra teacher wears clothes from 1985 and always mispronounces your name. Your English teacher loves to start classes with pop quizzes. It can be hard to think of these givers of grades as real people. But they eat pizza, watch movies, and enjoy sports on the weekends, just like you.
Why Work on Good Relationships With Teachers? A good relationship with a teacher today may help you in the future. You will need teachers' written recommendations to apply to a college or for a job after high school. Teachers know about grants and scholarships. And they may often appoint students to student offices or recommend students as volunteers for special community programs. All of these activities can help you get into college or get a good job. Teachers are another group of adults in
