| Synopsis: |
The most important issues affecting teenagers are comprehensively studied in the series "The Gallup Youth Survey: Major Issues and Trends". Each volume is filled with relevant statistical information and fascinating stories and reports, most collected by the Gallup Youth Survey, an arm of the famed Gallup Organization, over the past four decades. For more than 70 years, The Gallup Organization has studied human nature and behavior. The Gallup Youth Survey was founded in 1977 to provide ongoing information on the opinions, beliefs, and activities of America's high school students, and to help society meet its responsibility to youth. Many young adults dream of getting a good education and finding a job they love. Teenagers recognize that higher education is an important key to finding a fulfilling job, although many young people are worried both about the rising cost of higher education and their future job possibilities in the new economy. This volume examines the choices that teens make when it comes to education and finding a career. |
