	William Bennett once said, "There are no menial jobs only menial attitudes,” (Moncur, 2005). People in the U.S. define themselves by the work they do when they leave their homes each day. According to the U.S. Census (UCB, 2005) about 64% of all Americans over the age of 16 are gainfully employed. In addition, the average household income in the U.S. in the year 2000 was about $42,000. At some point in your life, you are mostly likely going to hold down a job to support yourself and perhaps your family. Do you know how you're going to do that? It's never too early to choose the right career path.
