Preparation!
Let's start planning a Career Pathway for you. You can always change your plan, but having a plan will help you stay on track and reach your goals.
"I can't possibly choose a career, I'm only a sophomore."
Actually, some of you already feel certain about your post-high school plans. Others are still searching. No stress! I'm not asking what you want to do for your entire life. It is time to plan what you want to do as your first pathway and first career after high school. There will be time to change your mind and finalize that plan during your junior and senior years.
