Ken's example that you never know what may be useful for you in the future:

A great example would be in my 10th grade Biology Class we learned how to read and write legal descriptions for property. I can remember telling my teacher I would never use that again. I literally use it every day in my career. Legal descriptions are used to determine the size of property and the boundaries which are critical in determining value.

High School Career Tech Options

Appraisers need to pass certification with the state but may have associates in business as well.
