| Teen Reviewer Comments | This video educates high school students and graduates about job opportunities that they can achieve. It provides some interesting examples, and manages to not become preachy by encouraging students to get a college degree, while not discouraging the possibility not to get one, either. It details some requirements needed for work after high school, and overall outlines these job opportunities well! |
