Accepting Fall registrations August 21 thru September 9 E ducation needed for recreation worker jobs ranges from a high school diploma, or some times less for many summer jobs, to graduate education for some adminis trative positions in large public recre ation systems. Full-time career pro fessional positions usually require a college degree with a major in parks and recreation or leisure studies, but a bachelor's degree in any liberal arts field may be sufficient for some jobs in the private sector. In industrial recreation, or "employee services" as it is more commonly called, compa nies prefer to hire those with a bache lor's degree in recreation or leisure studies and a background in business administration. Specialized training or experience in a particular field, such as art, music, drama, or athletics, is an asset for many jobs. Some jobs also require a certification. For example, when teaching or coaching water-related activities, a lifesaving certificate is a prerequisite. Graduates of associate degree programs in parks and recre ation, social work, and other human services disciplines also enter some career recreation* positions. Occasionally high school graduates are able to enter career positions, but this is not common. Some college stu dents work part time as recreation workers while earning degrees. A bachelor's degree and experi ence are preferred for most recreation supervisor jobs and required for most higher-level administrator jobs. However, increasing numbers of recreation workers who aspire to administrator positions are obtaining master's degrees in parks and recre ation or related disciplines. Also, many persons in other disciplines, including social work, forestry, and resource management, pursue gradu ate degrees in recreation. Persons planning recreation careers should be outgoing, good at motivat ing people, and sensitive to the needs of others. Good health and physical fitness are required. Activity planning calls for creativity and resourceful ness. Willingness to accept responsi bility and the ability to exercise good judgment are important qualities since recreation personnel often work with out close supervision. Part-time or summer recreation work experience while in high school or college may help students decide whether their interests really point to a human ser vices career. Such experience also may increase their leadership skills and understanding of people. Individuals contemplating careers in recreation at the supervisory or administrative level should develop managerial skills. College courses in management, business administra tion, accounting, and personnel man agement are likely to be useful.

Cultivating a child's natural fascination with garden ing and the outdoors is easy with a rewarding project that parents and kids can do together. Create a child-size garden. There's nothing wrong with having your child help with the flower beds or the vegetable garden, but designating a special space that the child can call his or her own will be met with pure delight. It's an irresistible opportunity for a child to learn how to prepare the soil, plant the seeds and tend the plants in a space a young person can handle. The key is keeping it small.

Feel free to make practical suggestions, but remember that kids love to choose the seed packets or starter plants themselves. Select from a few fast-growing, forgiving varieties. Think of the simple pleasures they'll enjoy, such as smelling and tasting herbs, watching cherry tomatoes turn red and feeling snapdragons "bite" their fingers. Your child will love to have his or-her own watering can, garden trowel and bucket. Gloves and a knee pad are good ideas, too.
