...I have selected the topic of teen employment for my Capstone project. In this essay I will present different aspects of employment such as the valuable skills and behavioral traits a teen can develop. I desire to educate my peers on the balance between work, academics, school activities, and the life skills that are developed. My guiding question for my Capstone project is “Does teen employment prepare students for later success in life?” My main research data base that I used is the Middle Tennessee State University library page. Throughout my research, I have found information on what young people gain from having a job at an early age and how it can affect their later career. One method I have for this research project is to survey adults 30+ years old around the community and also Blackman High School seniors who began working as a teenager. In this research paper I will present my results from this survey. At the end of this Capstone process, I hope to be able to define both the positives and negative findings on teen employment.

For me I had to sit down and really think about where I see myself going in this field because there are a ton of possibilities. I could just get a simple job, work from home, go to client’s houses, and go back to school. In 5 years I see myself doing all of those things but ultimately starting my own business in massage therapy. After I complete the program I want to look for employment as soon as possible. Of course to make ends meat for home, but mostly to gain even more experience in my profession. Only thru hands on experiences from different people will I truly get the feel for what im doing. I wouldn’t mind giving special massages to pregnant women, who i know deal with a lot of uncomfortable and painful situations due to the baby growing and making constant changes to their body. Knowing I can ease some of the tension they are feeling would be a good feeling for me and I’m pretty sure they would appreciate it as well. Having a baby is a big responsibility and if I could make that experience less painful and or help with a medical situation I would consider that a big step forward in my goal. Also helping military is another job I would look for in my massage therapy profession. These people lay there life on the line for our country and some go overseas and come back sore, drained and some injured. I would love to help ease there mind if possible...

There are many integral strategic changes taken place at one time with regards to the Department of Education and Title IV HEA funding for all colleges.
