Use All the Tools
The college and career readiness tools found on this site can help you to find answers to these important questions: Who am I? Where am I going? How do I get there? Additional resources offer easy-to-understand explanations of academic, financial, and workforce processes.
Don’t forget to breathe. Considering your life after high school can feel overwhelming at times. Trust your gut instinct. Follow the subjects and job descriptions that play to your interests. Most important, know that this is just one of many crossroads. Making a decision now does not mean your entire life will follow that trajectory, forever. You are in control and you can always choose to pursue something new if the path you are on doesn’t unfold as you had hoped.
