Experience, Career Development, Reinforced Learning, College Credit and Money! Now money is not the primary purpose of any type of supervised on-the-job experience, but it certainly does help. ![John Temple](https://hub.hindscc.edu/hs-fs/file-2054210185-jpg/images/photo_41-resized-600.jpg?width=200&height=266&name=photo_41-resized-600.jpg) John Temple, a Diesel Equipment Technology student, is currently employed with [Magnolia Marine](http://magnoliamarine.com) in Vicksburg, Mississippi while completing his degree requirements. John works on barges servicing and maintaining diesel engines. Temple was able to land the job with a two-year degree from our community college.  For half the cost of a four year education, John has the potential to make up to $70,000 per year (equal or in many instances more than those possessing a bachelors or master’s degree in other fields). According to [USA TODAY](http://www.usatoday.com/), an estimated 2.5 million new, middle-skill jobs like John’s are expected to be added to the workforce by 2017. These middle-skill jobs will make up 40% of all job growth.  Community colleges offer career-tech programs, which provide training for many of these positions which require far less than a bachelor’s degree. Hinds offers over 70 career or technical programs which train for these high-wage, high-skill and high-demand jobs.  Students may choose to earn a career certificate in just 30 hours, technical certificate in 45 or an Associate of Applied Science with 60 hours. ![Magnolia Marine work](https://hub.hindscc.edu/hs-fs/file-2054205120-jpg/images/photo_3.jpg?width=250&height=333&name=photo_3.jpg) This past week, John traveled to Greenville, Ms. to work on barges undergoing Coast Guard inspections. Among his duties were to make sure the emergency shut off to the engine was working properly and to remove air in the fuel line of a diesel pump engine. Both barges passed the Coast Guard inspections with flying colors for river trips. Later that week, Temple overhauled an engine in their shop.  Did you know that Magnolia Marine operates the largest inland waterways asphalt transportation fleet in the United States? Their fleet consists of 20 towboats and more than 75 barges which move product throughout the Mississippi River system as well as the intracoastal waterways of the Gulf of Mexico.  **Watch Mike Rowe’s Where The Jobs Are!** [http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2014/10/14/16261275/](http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2014/10/14/16261275/) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/bid/357664/where-the-jobs-are#comments-listing) Topics: [Hinds Community College](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/hinds-community-college), [Hinds CC](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/hinds-cc), [CTE](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/cte), [Career/Technical Program](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/careertechnical-program), [Diesel Equipment Technology](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/diesel-equipment-technology), [Where the jobs are!](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/where-the-jobs-are), [Magnolia Marine](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/magnolia-marine), [Vicksburg](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/vicksburg) [All posts](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/all) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Join the Team!
