Jennifer’s Answer

Being in 10 grade, you have plenty of time to explore different options. As soon as you can start volunteering locally in things that interest you. Reach out, it may be uncomfortable at first but putting yourself out there is the first step. You may find that what you think you like or are good at (or what other people tell you are good at or should do) does not align with your passion. In tenth grade REALLY WANTED to be a veterinarian. I was taking all the right classes, applied and got into the right schools with the best course work and connections with vet schools. I also started volunteering at different vet clinics and realized I loved the laboratory testing and I loved surgical aftercare. I did not like dealing with pet owners, many types of pets, actual surgeryor even the business side of it. I also met someone who was in the military and I we talked a lot about life. The person used the military to become a veterinarian (military paid for school) and get experience and travel. So I joined the military as a military police officer after my first year of college then joined ROTC and commissioned as a Medical Service officer. I just retired after 24 years. While in the military I continued to volunteer, used my benefits to pay for my Lab certification and my master's in public health. And I now work in the laboratory and foster animals. It was not the path my family and friends saw for me, and it definitely wasn't a path my 10th grade self would have taken. I cherish all I learned and was able to do in the military and I love what I am doing now and have no regrets not going to Veterinarian school (even though I did apply and get accepted). VOLUNTEER, FIND YOUR PASSION AND JUMP.

david’s Answer

Hi, Cody,

Your options could fill a book, but here are some general areas available:
- if you like working with your hands, you might consider a technical or trade school, or possibly a union apprenticeship. Plumbers, electricians, and other trade professions enjoy good pay and a strong sense of achievement
- if you're so inclined, a career in the military can be satisfying. Only a small percentage of military go in harm's way, and the training can be applied in other careers, and retirement age is much younger than other careers, allowing you to retire and then continue with a new career while enjoying retirement pay from the military
- if you are considering a career that requires specialized training, then college is the way to go. Whether as a business executive or medicine or law or many other such careers, colleges can help you prepare for life. Colleges also are valuable because they expand your horizons on life opportunities.
- if you need to be earning directly from high school, there are many job openings in customer service and retail and construction work. Taking such jobs can pay off by helping you further explore the work environment and contemplate further education as you uncover future opportunities.

Thanks for asking. I do hope this helps you see some of what could be in your future. All the best to you.



AND, all of this can be mixed together. You could use college as an intro to military or becoming a trades professional, or attend specialized training courses while working in a job directly from high school.
