College and Career Planning
It's NEVER too early to start planning for college and thinking about possible career paths!
The hardest part seems to be finding where to start.
What do you enjoy spending your time doing?
What is important or valuable to you?
What comes naturally to you?
What careers seem interesting to you? Why?
Do you know anyone who works in a career that you think you would like?
Is there any career that you think you would not like? Why?
What are your favorite things to learn/study?
What inspires you?
Learning about different careers is just a click away.
Occupational Outlook Handbook - For hundreds of different types of jobs—such as teacher, lawyer, and nurse—the Occupational Outlook Handbook tells you:
the training and education needed
earnings
expected job prospects
what workers do on the job
working conditions
Visiting different colleges is a great way to figure out what you like AND what you don't like.
Campus Visits and Special Preview Days - Most colleges offer special preview days for prospective students and parents. On your campus visit or preview day, you will likely get to:
tour the campus
meet professors
learn about available classes and degrees
learn about the admission requirements and process
lean about scholarships and other financial aid opportunities
Also, don't forget... you can schedule an appointment with Mrs. Yearwood to help answer some of your questions!
Let's dream and pray together for what God has in store for your future!
For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '”
Jeremiah 29:11
