c.e.o. jack kosakoski is a j.a. grad himself. >> i grew up in a very poor family, blue collar background, and i thought things happened to me, as a opposed to i could make things happen, that i could control my life. and that's what i gained through junior achievement. >> reporter: ten million kids in grades k through 12 participate in j.a. every year it started in 1919, and one of its founders was theodore vail, a former at&t president. you may remember junior achievement from when you were in school. but the program has changed with the times. yes, students still learn money management and entrepreneurial skills, but they also learn how to get a job after graduation. it's understandable many students are concerned about making money and getting a good job. but a recent j.a. survey found some depressing results: less than half of teens nationwide are "very confident" theyill someday have their dream job. more troubling-- 71% would give up that dream job to make more money. >> as a parent, that's troubling to me tha
