The Lost Generation

If you want to convince parents or staff members of the need for career education, we suggest that you show them the NBC News Special The Lost Generation. Hosted by Tom Brokaw, it dramatically illustrates how the jobs now available to young people with just a high school education do not support the lifestyle their parents could afford with a similar education. It demonstrates, too, how this situation often leads not only to poverty, but to frustration, despair, crime, and alienation from society. The final segment of the exceptional video presents hope, as it shows how high schools can make their programs more relevant for those students who are not going on to a 4-year college.
