Help Teens Pick a College or a Career

The career counseling office at your high school can help teens discover interests, skills and abilities. However, many schools have limited budgets and might not even have career assessment tools in place.

Here are some prior career blog entries that could help teens learn more about college. None of these articles offer a complete solution, but each shares information to factor into a discussion with parents, teachers or career counselors about going to college.

The goal of your research should be to learn about the skills employers want, what you like to do and which career would be a good fit for you.
