Education Needed for These 5 Jobs

1. Plumbers- Plumbers are required to complete a high school diploma and an

apprenticeship program. Most states require plumbers to be licensed.
Taking vocational courses in high school can help prepare candidates
planning to enter this job market.
2. Teachers- In order to work in a public school in the United States, would-be
teachers must first obtain licensure. Although each of the 50 states has
different requirements for obtaining a teacher's license, most mandate the
completion of a teacher education program such as a bachelor's degree
program in education and the passage of a state-administered exam.
Supervised teaching experience, often gained through teaching internships,
is also typically required.
3. Police Officer- Aspiring police officers must complete training programs
specific to individual law enforcement agencies. Many of these programs
last a minimum of 12 weeks and include substantial physical fitness
components; all cadets in police training programs must meet minimum
fitness and age standards.
4. Mayor- Mayors typically need at least a high school diploma and a strong
background in politics. Many cities require mayors to have a college degree.
Most districts also require mayors to have sufficient experience related to
the local government. Mayors must have a solid understanding of the city
council affairs and the city landscape. Most mayors have started out in
lower positions and advance to higher positions as they gain the necessary
experience. Mayors must also be at least 21 years old and a citizen and
qualified voter of their state and city.
5. Gourmet Chef- Certificates and associate's degrees are the most common
programs available for chef education. Apprenticeships can be completed
as well. Students can also specialize in a specific region's cuisine by
attending foreign culinary institutes. An associate's degree in the culinary
arts offers courses in food preparation, food safety and sanitation.
