Option of working after high school.

Here the video for the questions https://youtu.be/yUidGvSQR9I

3) At the 1:25 to the 2:00 minute mark, the video discusses another option of working after high school. But the work isn’t just some random job to make money. Rather, the work is something that interests you enough that it can possibly turn into a career.

Have you thought about the path the park guide explains in getting a job that can lead to a career but also might lead you back into getting more education to further your income and open advancement opportunities? What kind of job can you have that is related to your career interest that might not require an immediate college degree?

10) At the 2:38 mark, the park guide ends his conversation by recommending that a person design a path that gives you both flexibility to adapt and the opportunity to explore.

This means – as you explore your life after high school graduation options, be flexible in deciding what path you are going to have to take to meet your career goals. Be prepared for changes whether that is caused by lack of finances, your interests changing, or other life events. 

Explain if you have a clear path that you are following to make your career goals a reality. Is this path something in your head or do you have it mapped out somewhere on your computer or paper?
