Abstract
The emerging information age will make education/work relationships stronger and stronger. These relationships must be emphasized by school counselors. This document discusses how this can be done both for youth planning to attend a four-year college and for those planning some other kind of postsecondary career-oriented education. One possible solution is suggested.
