Summary

Necedah, Wisconsin is my hometown that I've lived in for basically my whole life. I’ve seen that there are little to no opportunities after High School. Futures in Necedah hold no opportunity for a great successful career.

 

The community I decided to write about was Necedah, Wi. Necedah Wisconsin is my home town that I've lived in for basically my whole life. I’ve seen that there are little to no opportunities after High School if you were to stay here the rest of your life. I feel that if you just leave town and get a better job or get a degree of any kind at college. There are 5 jobs that I feel are better than the rest in Necedah.

 

Fun Company is an arcade company in Necedah, WI.

 

Fun Company doesn’t require a college degree, just training in the same field. It’s a medium paying job with making around 55,000 yearly. If high schoolers pick this job after highschool they should think about saving and working a lot. I knew a couple of kids that went and worked there. They said the work environment was not great and that they also disliked it there. It is a toxic work environment for somebody that isn’t used to full time work, and I asked the other person that I knew and he said the same thing.

 

 

Lenny’s lumber is a wood company in Necedah, WI.

 

Lenny’s Lumber is a wooding company that I’ve seen where kids from High School started working there after they graduate and now they are 30 and still work there. I have a friend that has worked there and said the pay is not great but it’s better than most. That sentence was what made me do this topic because that means we have no long term jobs here in Necedah. He worked there for one month and didn’t enjoy the people around him and also the pay wasn’t that great, with people saying that it's the best job in the town.

 

 

This is a business called Mitotec which is a Manufacturing company for parts, and more.

 

Mitotec is an alright business that plenty of high schoolers I know worked here after high school. Out of every business in Necedah WI, this is the best one if you were to work there after high school. My Dad had worked here for about Two years and he said that when High School kids work there they never really take it seriously and then end up quitting. I’ve been on a tour for a field trip and saw that they wanted you to work there and not go to college. For me that is a terrible decision because there are so many more options around the state and college is also a way better option.

 

 

Croell is a concrete company that you need some type of work before this but not a college education.

 

Croell makes a good amount of money but it's not that great. In terms of good, I mean for my town because we need a better amount of better jobs. The job requires a high school diploma and a 2 year college degree. Every job in Necedah only requires atleast a high school diploma. A high school diploma only takes you so far depending on where you are, and in Necedah a diploma will only get you a couple of jobs.

 

 

Kwik Trip is a gas station and it’s the busiest place in Necedah Wi.

 

This is where all of the high schoolers go expecting great results. I know a lot of people that went here after high school and they’re still working there, but they don’t hate it. You don’t need a high school diploma or a college degree and I think that makes sense. If you want to work here your whole life, you’re gonna have to be very smart with the amount of money you get per year. The pay is alright with making about $18 an hour.

 

Necedah might be a great town to get education but when It comes to job opportunities I know that we can do better. If people get a chance to go to college or a better job somewhere else they need to take it, one of my close friends had a job opportunity further away but paid very well. He ended up picking the one in necedah that doesn’t pay great at all. If the people of Necedah want a better future then I feel that the problem in this town is no job opportunities after high school.
