Do you have a plan for your career? - Elektrisk - 01-08-2011
Hi, SF.
Do y'all have a plan as to what you want to do after high school?
Let's hear it
Here's what I'm doing. I'm a junior in high school who is also taking two college classes (English Comp. 2 & World Literature). I took Comp. 1 last semester as well as a history class. I do online high school, which allows for more time for work & college. The local school system pays for 3/4 of the tuition cost of two classes at a local college, which explains why I don't do more. All I have to pay for is 1/4 of my tuition and my books.
Next fall, I'll be taking a 3 hour per day 5 days per week introduction to medicine class at a vocational school in my town. It's completely free for high school students and will teach me about physiology, anatomy, medical terminology, and more. It'll also allow me to test for my CNA license, which you must have to acquire your RN license in my state.
I might also take 2 college classes for those two semesters, but trying to balance online high school, a 3hr/day class, and work will be hard enough with an extra 2 classes. We'll have to see.

I'm going to try my hardest and attempt to go on television.
No joke, hopefully I will succeed.

No, I didn't plan. I left school and went to work, I found my own way.

I currently am working hard to be a computer specialist. I want to be that because I enjoy my time on computers and enjoy the feeling of helping members.

All I would say is do something you love and have passion about.

Because I'm more into using my hands than my brain I'm looking into a construction job as a plumber.
They're pretty highly paid where I come from
I think it's on par with electrician.

Learning a trade is a great option and in England it's well paid too. Plumbers and Electricians are lucky because they're always in demand and are very specialist.
