19. Career Decisions 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.
