How I Discovered The Untold Career
Information Secrets to Making Life,
Education, and Career Decisions!
"Astonishing Career Information Answers
to Unspoken Questions Revealed!"
"Career Counseling and Career Guidance" are the
"MISSING LINKS" in Career Information and
education!
As as example, students might get a good education
based on a degree plan in a specific career field, but
no career counseling and career guidance to enhance
their success!
Or students might be exposed to alot of career
information, but (again) with no career counseling and
career guidance for the degree plan!
. . . In support of my POSITION on these career
information issues, I'II start by saying: Many parents
don't realize this, but (when it comes to career
planning) there's one HUGE college expense that
most people don't even budget for when doing college
planning! And, most college planning consultants
don't teach this!
And yet, this is one of the BIGGEST and most
COMMON expenses there is. This expense can
actually cost so much, your child may even have to
LEAVE school!

In fact one out of every two students experience this
and it costs their parents, on average, $10,000 to
$100,000.00 or more!
Its sad, but true that most counseling and careerservices programs in high schools do very little to no
career counseling and career guidance!
From the desk of Dr. Moses McCutcheon, Jr.Tuesday, 10:28 a.m.
Dear Parents,
My name is Dr. Moses McCutcheon, Jr and I've got some very, very important
career information to share with you about career planning . . . I'II start with thisquestion:
Are you hoping to send your child to college, but you're worried that you can'tafford it? Does it upset you to realize that your child may NEVER get the same
advantages as their friends and peers, because you simply can't afford to getthem a good education?
Then stick around, because I'm about to share some career information secretsthat will help you save a whopping $10,000.00 dollars or more off the cost of a
college education, so you can afford to help your child get the best education forhis or her degree plan.
One of the biggest college expenses is related to students not really taking theright courses because they really don't know what they want to be or do after
graduation.
Although there are many career information websites with excellent tools available
today, most high school seniors still don't know what they really want to be or do
after graduation, and don't know how to make this very important decision. As a
result they end up spending money on courses they don't need.
This is a HUGE college expense that most people don't
even budget for! And yet, it is one of the BIGGEST and
most COMMON expenses!

Here is the issue: When most high school seniors are asked what will their collegeor trade school major be, the answer is vague or "I don't know." More than 50%
of all high school seniors will admit that they don't know. I was in that group.
Most of the other 50% don't know that they don't know. As a direct result of not
knowing the answer to this question, many create the wrong degree plan.
Many think they know until they are actually employed in the workplace and/or
have student loans to repay. This issue creates short and long term
problems for employers. (Source: McCutcheon Research, 2004).According
to a radio report, research indicates that more than 77% of the people in theworkforce hate their jobs. This is another example of those who graduated with
the wrong degree plan.
Many of the students who did not know what they wanted to be or do after
graduation are now a major part of that 77%. It is very difficult to do good
work if you hate what you are doing. The nation had 46.8 million students in1999-2000.
Based on this figure and career info, at least half of them (23.4 million) did not
have clear goals for life after graduation.
In addition to the lack of clear goals, many students are not motivated to learn
and are not making the connection between school and their eventual careerchoices.
STOP! READ CAREFULLY . . . Every nine seconds in America a student becomes a dropout. (Source:
"Whatever It Takes: How Twelve Communities are Reconnecting
Out-of-School Youth, 2006.")
1. Everyday in America 1,072 Caucasian, 489 African-American and 689
Latino high school students drop out of school. (Source: Children's
Defense Fund, August 2004).
In California, the average counselor-to-student ratio on the low end is 1-
to-448 and on the high end it is 1-to-971. Other states have similarstatistics. (Source: McCutcheon Research 2004 and American School
Counselor Association, 2002).
1. At the community college level, many counselors face counselor-to-students
ratios of 1-to 2,000. And, in the past few years, money for counseling has

and still don't know what I want to do. Counseling and career services did not
offer career guidance.
Situation 2. I plan to go to college, but can't decide what my college major andcareer will be. I like nursing, but needed more nursing career information before
making a decision. Although, my career center offered counseling and careerservices, career guidance was not offered.
Situation 3. I plan to attend a trade school, but can't decide what my trade schoolmajor and career will be. I am thinking about an information technology career,but need cutting edge career counseling from a college planning consultant orcareer coach.
Situation 4. My parents want me to be a teacher, but I really want to be a
musician.
Situation 5. I am a high school senior. I enjoy doing many things, but can't decide

For more than 20 years, I have consistently conducted major research on howparents can work with teachers and school counselors in the areas of career
counseling and career guidance and on how students can create the right degreeplan while learning how to choose their RIGHT college or trade school major
and career.
Additionally, I have successfully conducted numerious career planning tests and
used these strategies in my own life. I tested these strategies on others from 2001 to
2003, and have been successfully teaching these strategies to others since 2004.
My career guidance tips and strategies can help you too!

This book is a tool I recommend for each and
every young adult in America!Thanks very much, Dr. McCutcheon, for the life roadmap found in"Planning Today
For Success Tomorrow". This book is a tool I recommend for each and every
young adult in America, to provide foundational preparation and success-thinking
for a productive life. TheLife and Career Plan and theCareer Marketing Action Plan
are two tools worth the investment of the book. These tools would have been a
tremendous help to me in my own life journey for making the correct decisions atthe right time. The best thing about this book is that parents and schools are
encouraged to become stakeholders in the success of a young person's life. This
book is an excellent guide and resource.

MY STORY!
Having shared what others had to say, please allow me to share my story. My
desire to address the problem/issue discussed earlier and come up with a
solution stemmed from personal experience.
I knew that I was going to college but, like many high school seniors today, I didnot know what my college major would be.Does this sound familiar? I needed
career information, career counseling, and career guidance. Although, I hadexcellent teachers, my school did not have a counselor.
As a result of not knowing what my major would be and not knowing how tomake this very important decision, I realized that I had two choices: (1) select any
major and graduate or (2) find a way to discover how to make a decisionconcerning the right college major.
I did not like the first choice, and the second choice required me to push mygraduation back until I could discover how to select a major that was right for
me.
My inability, at the time, to make this decision was due to a lack of knowledge
about self and career development. Again, I needed career information, careercounseling, and career guidance.The lack ofcareer information with career
guidance caused me to experience a tremendous amount of stress and discomfort.
Let me point out at this juncture, that this issue does nothave anything to do with intelligence. The problem is
that students simply do not know how to make this very
important decision,and there is NO GUIDANCE to help
them.
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected] -
8/14/2019 About a Career You Hate

This lack of knowledge cost me an estimated $50,000
that I could have used for something else. Additionally,
this situation cost me a great deal of personal time, and
other resources.Looking back, I discovered that this problem impacted my life 3 different times:The first time I was a high school senior, the second time I was a sophomore in
college, and the third time I was at the completion of a very successful militarycareer followed by employment as a Marriott executive.
As you can see from this trend, if this issue is not resolved at some point, it simply
follows you throughout your life and career.
At each juncture, I had to conduct major research, which was costly and time
consuming, to determine my next step and how to proceed.
In the course of time, I developed (as a solution to this issue) an integratedprogram that included exploring career information and career opportunities,development of computer skills, and, most important, finding one's life purpose
as it relates to work.
This program teaches students (with the help of their parents, school counselors,
and teachers) how to answer the question, "What's after high school for me?" Icalled this program School-To-Success.
School-To-Success teaches parents and students how to go from their school to
their own success in life.
A seven-question pre-assessment instrument ( career planning test) was
created to provide the information required for career information and
career planning. The responses to these questions can be used to build an action
plan for future success.
This is very, very important . . . many students think
they know what they want to be, but really don't know!
At this point, I would like to share another story. Had it not been for this
conversation, I would have missed this group. I never considered this group,
because I thought they really knew what they wanted to be and do.

I was talking to an Assistant Principal one day about my work in the areas ofcareer information and career planning. During the course of the conversation, I
mentioned that I wanted to help all students who could not answer the question"What will their college or trade school major be after high school?"
She looked directly at me and said "What about the others?" She was referring tothe group representing 50% that said they knew (without a doubt) what they
wanted to be after graduation. My response was I don't need to help them.
They already know what they are going to do. However, after she left, I could not
get her question out of my head. My first thought was why did she asked me thisquestion and secondly, what did I need to know about this group that I didn'tknow?
In an effort to resolve this matter with myself, I decided to include this group into
a study that I needed to do. This move turned out to be a great idea. I wasshocked at the results!More that 95% of those who said they knew what they
wanted to be changed their minds after they were exposed to my data base
of career information.
When asked why, some of the responses among many were "I didn't know thatthis opportunity exist" and "I didn't think that I could make money from what I
really wanted to do."
Still others said, "My parents told me what I was going to be and I didn't stop to
think about it anymore." And others said "I didn't know that I could do this!"

my life, I experienced a lack of direction, which had serious repercussions for meand for people close to me.
As a high school student, even as late as my senior year, I did not have cleargoals for life after graduation. Again, in my second year of college and then in the
military, I had no idea what I would do when I got out.
Later still, when I worked as a corporate executive, I realized I still had the
problem: I still did not know my life purpose as it relates to work and a career.Again, as you can see from this trend, if this issue is not resolved at some point, it
simply follows you throughout your life and career.
And NOW the good NEWS! Introducing School-To-
Success and the School-To-Success At-Home
Career Information and Career Guiance Program.School-To-Success is a career information and career guidance model for lifeand work planning.
This model provides tools and training materials for parents to help their children
with career information and career guidance. These tools and training materialsprovide the solution to issues discussed earlier.
You know, in real life, there are many ways to ask the same question. For
example:"What do you want to be when you grow up" is the same as "What will
your college major be?" or "What will your trade school major be?" or "What willyou do to make a living?"
School-To-Success asks this same question in 7 different waysto help parents
determine the absolute truth about their child's current situation as it relates to his
or her future.
The child's answers to these questions can be used to
help parents help their children develop a degree plan
for future success-- a plan that can save $10,000 to$100,000 or more on the cost of a college or trade school
education.
School-To-Success is a technology-based career information program with
special emphasis on the discovery of one's life purpose as it relates to work.

The program, which was pilot tested over a period of two years (2001-2003),included a wide variety of participants: individuals from ages 4 to 92; diverse
ethnic and racial groups; and a wide range of educational aspirations-from a highschool diploma, through vocational training, to college, and beyond.
Typically classes lasted two hours and were held once or twice weekly for aperiod of 2-4 months in schools, churches, and community-based organizations.
The School-To-Success instructional method was, hands-on, interactive, andtechnology-enhanced.
Class size was limited to 15 students. Students were asked to assess the courseperiodically through questionnaires.
Results during the initial two-year trial period were gratifying. My high school
students found themselves for the first time identifying something that
they loved to do and feeling excited about their futures. My older students,some of whom were senior citizens, were able to find a new purpose in
their lives.
For example, one woman in her fifties who took the course discovered skills shedidn't know she had. As a result, she started her own business, making andselling signs.
The School-To-Success Career Information Modelfor life and work planning was created for parents
to work with school counselors and teachers inthe areas of career guidance, career planning and
career counseling.
Many counselors are severely overextended, spending much of their timescheduling classes, assigning classes, and taking care of disciplinaryproblems.
As an example, I worked in a School to Career program for more than 30
months at a Southern California high school. During this period, I had theopportunity to observe and work with four counselors.
A typical day in the counselors world was as follows: Five students werewaiting to see the counselor; two needed their schedules changed; a thirdneeded a schedule because he was a new student; the fourth was sent tosee the counselor because of behavioral problems; and the fifth studentwas caught with a knife.

On another occasion, there were only two full-time school counselors formore than 1,100 students, resulting in an assignment of 550 students percounselor.
Additionally, since many counselors are certificated, when teachers are
absent, counselors may be required to cover one or more classrooms untilsubstitute teachers are assigned. Although, all days are not like this, thissituation describes the real world of a school counselor.
It is alarming but true that by the 9th or 10th grade, many students who have never
had the opportunity to correlate school and their futures are already turned off to
education. Either they want to quit school altogether, or they are satisfied fulfilling
the bare minimum of requirements for graduation.
As mentioned earlier, a recent report called: "Whatever It Takes: How Twelve
Communities are Reconnecting Out-of-School Youth,"indicated that every nine
seconds in America a student becomes a dropout.
Instead of postponing career-development programs until high school,
researchers and knowledgeable educators informed me, career counselingshould start much earlier, before students become disengaged from learning -in
elementary school, if possible, but not later than the seventh grade.
These programs should take a progressive, sequential approach to career
development, exposing students to as broad a range of career opportunities
as possible. Without such programs in middle school, many students will make
poor educational choices in high school, thus closing the door to success lateron. Research NOW shows that career planning should start with family
planning.
While early career planning is crucial to most students' future success, it is clear
to parents and educators that what is taught in schools must also change.Research proves what many of us know in our bones already: The skills
needed to earn a decent income have changed dramatically in the 21st
Century.
Yet the curriculum taught in most schools has changed minimally, if at all.
Preparing students to meet the new employment needs and to compete globally is aformidable challenge which not only professional educators but society as a whole
must address if we are to thrive.
Since the counselor-to-students ratio is too high (as
mentioned earlier), School-To-Success offers a Home
