Abstract	The work students do must mean something to them; so, too, must this work prepare them for the demands of "that famous place: the world," as Virginia Woolf called it. Students must develop the skills needed to "do" work that pays them well and contributes to the country's overall success; they also need to be able to "get" that work by knowing how to apply for and get these good jobs that will support and challenge them as they pursue life, liberty, and happiness. In this article, the author describes class projects, guest speakers, and other ways for helping students develop literacy skills that will help them find gainful employment. (Contains 3 figures.)
