ASVAB: It’s Your Future #youdecide

Contrary to popular belief, there is life after high school, and college is not your only option. Four-year college, two-year college, trade/certificate programs, the Military, a gap-year, and work—The possibilities really are endless.

Feeling a little unsure about your future? That’s okay! You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. The best thing to do is spend time learning about yourself, specifically your skills and interests, and how those elements relate to the world of work. This exercise will help you narrow down the types of jobs you would be good at and discover the different ways to get to those jobs so you can make a plan that works with your aspirations and your budget.
