As you start to think about a career, here some tips:
  • The earlier you start thinking about what career you might enjoy, the better off you'll be. What would you be if you could be anything?
  • Get your high school diploma or a GED.
  • Consider taking more courses in math and science. The future will be booming with technical and scientific careers.
  • Learn good speaking and writing skills.
  • On average, college graduates make more money than high school students.
