"The New Vocationalism: What It Is, What It Could Be"

In W. Norton Grubb's essay "The New Vocationalism: What It Is, What It Could Be," he discusses how high schools should be preparing you for real life situations such as; college, job interviews, and jobs. I agree with Grubb because when you get out of high school you should know what colleges expect from you and be prepared to fulfill their requirements. In high school I felt like the teachers did has much as they could to prepare you to move on but it wasn't enough for me. I had no clue on what I wanted to or where to go to school. Since I didn't know what to do I decided to attend SFCC to help me figure something out. About half way through my freshmen year I decided to set my goal at just completing the requirements for getting my A.A. by taking the recommended classes. After finishing up my A.A. here at the falls I intend on setting a new goal by going to SCC and completing their Diagnostic Medical Sonography or ultrasound program. Grubb's argument relates to my goals by showing how schools are preparing you to make decisions on what you want to major in.
