Hi, I am a high school senior and unsure of what I would like to do when I graduate. I am interested in many things such as specific trades and lots of outdoor activities. I'm unsure if I want to go to college, trade school, or neither. How should I go about deciding what I should do?
Some of my hobbies are going on bike rides, hiking, and listening to music. I am right now leaning towards going to trade school so my student loans wouldn't be as bad and I'm ready for a job instantly after completion. However, I'm still not really sure what I would like to do.
