The irony of the "career clusters" in the one kid's course registration manual (that are supposed to help you get a high-skill/high-wage/high-demand job), is that they are the usual well-meaning suggestions by people who have no idea how to get a high-skill, high-wage, or high-demand job. Mind you I'm not taking a pot-shot at educators here (though you could read it that way); I'm just saying, nobody has an accurate idea what the landscape will look like in 6 or 8 years (which is when this kid will be out in the job market), much less how best to prepare for it. There is doubt attached to both the forecast and the preparation methods.
