The students of the 21st century are born into a life that requires both skill and dedication to have a job to support your family and figuring all of that out early means the younger you are when you retire. In Horry County, South Carolina high school students can take a two-year program at the Horry County Public Schools' Academy for Technology and Academics to receive training from certified Horry County Fire Rescue instructors. As soon as the students turn 18 they are "eligible to test for firefighter certification through the National Fire Protection Association and the South Carolina Fire Academy" (Kim) which means if they pass they can become a fire fighter anywhere in the country, depending on availability. This will provide young men and women with the opportunity to start their careers early and become aged professionals before they turn 30.
