SOLVED. Begins with HS graduation. Teens are placed into preselected jobs and lives [s]

I read this book in school, either 7th or 8th grade (2001-2003) all I can remember was it was set in the future and the book began with a graduation ceremony where the kids found out what Job they were selected for. It followed a specific group of kids. Wish I could remember more :-/ thank you!

The Giver for Shelby's suggestion.

Another suggestion is possibly Invitation to the Game

[Kristen]

I'm almost positive it's "invitation to the game" that sounds the most familiar. I will most definitely have to add your other suggestions to my must read list. Thank you so much ladies! Greatly appreciated!

Invitation to the Game is pretty much my default any more when someone asks for anything close to your request Kristen Miguel. It's been requested so often that I had to go and find a copy and read it myself. :o) (You are number 11.)
