 Is it too early to start
exploring careers?

You may be thinking this feels a bit early to start

thinking about plans after graduating high school. It
takes time to figure out the best plan. What you are
learning now in school can be applied toward your career
after school. Your grades now and in high school help
prepare you for applying for jobs, college, and other
programs, no matter what kind of path you set out on.
 Do you have to choose a
career now and stick with
it?
 Do you have to choose a
career now and stick with

No! You have plenty of time and can change your path many
times throughout middle school, high school, and even once
you enter the workforce. Learning about yourself and
careers takes some time. Don’t worry if you can’t answer
these questions right now. It’s a process — and we’ll guide
you through it.
