Retail

• This can be a great field for outgoing young people to get into as being in the retail sector allows you to interact with other people on a day-to-day basis. If you love talking to and being around people, then this type of job could be exactly what you are looking for. Keep in mind you will need good people skills and have good customer services skills. If these are not strengths you possess, together with some patience, then perhaps you should consider another field.
  
  

Construction

• If you are a fan of the outdoors and you like physical labor as opposed to customer service or being trapped behind a desk, a job in construction could be the thing for you. Anything from building houses to laying carpet to engineering, just to name a few, can fall into the area of construction. You could obtain an entry-level position as soon as you graduate and then work your way up the ladder once you have your foot in the door.
  
  

Apprenticeships

• The apprenticeship is an effective route for a high school graduate with no qualifications and perhaps limited or no experience to get a foothold in the working market. The apprenticeship is an incentive whereby an applicant is provided with both on-the-job training and a formal qualification in the classroom. Examples of apprenticeship options include work as a car or motorcycle mechanic, an apprenticeship in a manufacturing setting or as a florist, looking after plants and flowers. Once you complete your apprenticeship, you will be a skilled professional who, if you work hard and have good work ethic, will be in great demand for years to come.
  
  

Hospitality

• The hospitality sector is a broad classification and can encompass anything from hotel staff to kitchen assistants to wait staff to bartenders. You can, of course, obtain apprenticeships in the field of hospitality but you can also get in on the bottom rung, for example washing dishes in a hotel kitchen, and work your way up to the position you strive for, perhaps hotel manager. Most people in the hospitality industry should not be afraid of a little hard work and long hours on your feet.
