MILTON — Information on career options and related educational opportunities is available on the Santa Rosa Career Pathways website, http://www.santarosacareerpathways.com.
A joint venture of the Santa Rosa Economic Development Office and the Santa Rosa County School District, the site provides average salary information for various jobs in technical and creative fields, along with the education available in the county to increase chances of attaining those jobs.
