19. Career Decisions After High School
Emma:
Hey Liam, have you thought about what you want to do after high school?
Hey Liam, have you thought about what you want to do after high school?
Yeah, I've been considering a few options.
I'm not sure whether to start a trade, go to college, or maybe even start my own business.
Those are all great choices.
What interests you the most?
I really like working with my hands, so a trade like carpentry or plumbing could be a good fit.
But I also enjoy learning new things, so college is appealing too.
True. College can open up many opportunities, but starting a trade can get you into the workforce faster.
Have you thought about what business you might want to start?
I've always had ideas for a small tech startup, but I'm not sure if I have the right skills yet.
Maybe you could combine your interests.
You could start with a trade and take some college courses on the side, or look for business programs that focus on trades.
That's a good point.
I guess it's about finding a balance between what I enjoy and what will provide stability.
Exactly. It might also help to talk to a career counselor or shadow professionals in each field to see what suits you best.
Thanks, Emma. I appreciate your advice.
I'll start exploring these options more.
