College is NOT for everyone!
You don't HAVE to go to college to get a great career! But you WILL need a plan, and that plan should include some kind of postsecondary education. Postsecondary education is any kind of training, schooling or classes that you take after, or in addition to, High school. This can be through a community college, like GTCC, or through a trade school. (Cosmetology school, Culinary school, Computer/IT school) There's also Guilford Apprenticeship Partners.

Trade schools are local places of learning that let you train for a career fast. Think of them as an alternate form of college. Immediately after high school, you can enroll in a program, be trained, and leave career-ready. Often, training can be completed in as few as 6-10 months, depending on the program. For example, CDL truck driving has one of the quickest training times: just 3-6 weeks!
