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.

realistically, how hard is it to manage time spent on major and minor classes, especially if the former is for a career and the latter is more of a passion? What kind of schedule can I use to make sure that the time spent on both is enjoyable and/or efficient?

I would love to minor in theater as I am a distinguished chorus member and a large part of my high school's drama department, but I know that a good foundation generally comes from a stable job. I am considering a trade job, but I'm curious about how I can effectively manage my time for getting...

I plan on working in the animal field one day after college and i got to thinking. Are there any issues or problems that occur more frequently than is talked about that should be brought to future vet techs attention to give them a heads up to prepare? If so, what was an unexpected challenge that was experienced in a veterinary clinic work environment?

What would be some advice to others how to address and fix the issue if others were to experience this?

I'm largely considering becoming a pediatrician, but want to know if it's a right fit for me. The schooling seems daunting but I feel confident that I can get through it. What advice do you have or what do you wish you would have known going into the profession?
