It's one that allows students to gain money and save for big financial decisions they need to make like paying for college in the future or renting a home or purchasing a car. However, as with all other paths it should be carefully planned and thought out. You should be thinking of creating a resume, acquiring more skills from programs offered at South Broward, and researching jobs you would enjoy and are capable of doing.
