Questioning and Planning

 

Introducing the Question, Choice or Problem

Getting ready for life is never easy, especially when it involves finding a career that you will spend the rest of your life doing.  Many questions come to mind, some of which are:

Will I like what I am doing?

Will I make enough money to live?

Will I have to go to college?

What college will I go to?

Will I have to move to go to the college I want?

How and where will I live while I get the training I need?

First:  You must carefully think about the type of career you want.  

Second:  You must think about how much money you want to make.  

Third:  You must think about where you want to work, do you want to work inside or outside.  

Fourth:  You must think about what are you good at doing.

Fifth:  Now you must research your choice of career.
