Way to go Lady Wolverines!

CONGRATULATIONS to girl’s volleyball and coach Tate for winning their sub-district match last night against Steilacoom at Franklin Pierce H.S. and earning a spot into districts! Due to unique scheduling circumstances, the girls had to play 5 complete matches in 4 days, and made it through without the services of one of their best players, senior Linda Ba due to a thumb injury. Thanks Coach Tate and volleyball girls for representing our campus throughout the region!

Salaries for 2010 College Graduates!

College graduates, in general, are earning $850 less to start this year than in 2009; however, some fields are showing an increase in starting salaries, according to a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.


What will you earn in the future as a college graduate? A look at 2010 starting salaries will give you an idea of what to expect.

Communications: Entry-level public relations jobs pay an average of $36,286, and jobs in broadcast journalism pay about $46,000. These salaries are up a great deal from 2009.

Engineering: Graduates concentrating in the environmental field are in demand. Offers to those in agricultural, environmental and oceanic engineering are up from an average of $43,600 in 2009 to $55,187 this year. Across all engineering majors, the average projected starting salary is $54,892, up slightly from 2009.

Business: Graduates in business schools saw a slight decline in salaries in 2010, from $46,973 in 2009 to $46,623 this year. Accounting and finance degrees are the most in demand, and these graduates will receive a small increase.

Liberal Arts: Money often comes later for graduates with a liberal arts degree, according to experts, so people who major in this field must be patient. Their writing, communication, and thinking skills will pay off, but usually not immediately. Graduates in liberal arts and science are the hardest hit salary-wise in 2010, but English majors can expect a pay increase of about 6% percent from last year. In the science field, employers plan to offer higher pay only to physics and agriculture majors. The average reported starting salary for those with humanities, science or social science degrees is $30,159.

How to Have Success at Work?

A person can be the one making the most money and yet be miserable at work. On the other hand, the one who makes the least may be the most content. How can you be happy at work?
1. Decide what success means to you. Is it money? A big title? Power? A flexible schedule? Great benefits? A non-stressful work environment? Success is based on what you believe, not on what someone else thinks is success.
2. Keep a positive attitude at work. The person at work who is positive is the one everybody likes to be around. This will make them a success among their co-workers and the boss too. No one likes someone who drags around with a negative attitude.
3. Do your best work every day. Set high standards for yourself, and meet them every time. A get-by attitude actually gets you nowhere. You’ll be the first to go in layoffs.
4. Take pride in your job, so you place value on yourself. It doesn't matter if anyone sees or knows how hard or well you are working.
5. Stay focused. Most people who enjoy success at work are focused. They discipline themselves to stay on task. They aren’t distracted by texting, social networking, gossip, or rumor.
6. Make yourself indispensable. You want to be the “go to” person when a manager needs someone he or she can depend on. You guarantee this by going beyond what is expected.
