Planning Your Career
You don't have to decide now where you want to work and what you want to do, but you can start exploring your interests.
If you want to go to college, you need to start taking the right classes as a freshman.
Ask a teacher you like or a guidance counselor about careers.
Even the most general plans pay off.
One thing is certain: it's not too early to start learning about yourself.
The more you know about yourself, the easier to decide on a career.
One way is to identify your interests by using the Career Center.
