“I'm not sure what I want to do when I graduate high school. Where do I start?”

Answer

Don’t be overwhelmed!

A lot of people are not sure what they will do after graduation, however there are a few good places to start:

  • Think about what you enjoy, and if there is a way to pursue these through a certain career or path to that career
  • Try applying for jobs to get a sense of different workplace environments and build experience
  • Talk to guidance counselors or teachers in your school for advice.
