While no one can guarantee what the future will bring, looking at past performance is often a very good way to predict what will happen with surprising accuracy. As humans, we have learned this lesson and applied it to many of our sciences and endeavors. To illustrate, if you want to invest a large sum of money in the stock market, most people will research a good number of stocks and select from these the ones that have shown a consistent pattern of earnings or that fit into the profile of a similar investment that was successful. By doing so, the majority of the individuals investments will return a profit rather than losing money.
You, the college student, are making a far more important investment. This investment will determine the course of your life and the degree of success you can attain. The time, money and energy that you are putting into your education can reap rich rewards or return catastrophic failure, depending upon how you handle the investment. By referring to historical data on labor statistics, you can determine what areas have consistently provided high paid entry level jobs and in what fields the entry level job market has suffered during business cycle fluctuations. By using this information, you can formulate an accurate idea of what the future corporate world will have to offer you upon graduation and adjust your curriculum accordingly. By taking the time to research the past, you can find high paid entry level jobs in your future.
