Ten Jobs Without Degree - job hunting

Not Interested In Further Studying

Your child finished matric but is not interested in going to university, college, and wants to go straight into the job market. Not all matriculants want to study further straight after school. Some look at taking a gap year others are unsure of what they want to study.

We all know that having a good education is the key to being successful. Forcing your child to go to university might not be the answer. Statistics show that half of university students drop out after the first year.

Having your child sit at home doing nothing after 12 years of school is also not an option. Rather let find a job in the meantime to help pay the bills and will help to give them time to decide what they want to do.

Even if your child is not interested in studying further then if they apply him or herself then dedication and hard work can also lead to success.
