When considering your future career plans, you must first know yourself such as your interest, skills, and values.
From there, you can research careers that combine your interests and strengths.
Once you have career areas in mind, determine the level of education or additional training you need (be sure that's a good fit for you and your abilities!).
Next research educational institutions that meet your list of "factors that are important to me when considering a college".
Stay organized by creating a Career/College folder in your Google Drive to keep all College/Career notes and document (such as career ideas/goals, essays, letters of recommendation, copies of applications, scholarship applications, etc.)
