High School Graduation: Now What? Now Where?

Now that you have finally made it through the halls of high school, what do you do now? You have finally made it to your high school graduation, but what comes after? Hopefully I will be able to give you a few ideas on where to go from here. Whether you chose college, tech school or just to get a job after high school, you may have some prep work that you need to do.

If you are a motivated person, you may have applied to many different colleges. You may have even been accepted by a few before your high school graduation. This does not mean, however, that you know where you will be going. Maybe you have a geographical location in mind, course studies, or just looking for the first college to accept you. A few things to keep in mind are about dorms, off campus living or commuting to school.

If you are considering going to a tech school after your high school graduation, you will want to look to see what is available in your local area. You need to make sure that not only do you have a technical school located in your area, but that it is close enough to commute to. Do you have your own vehicle, or will you car pool? What about taking a bus, is it close enough to take a bus to, is it even on the local route?

How about just taking some time off from your education? You finally made it to your high school graduation, but this does not determine your future by any means. There are a number of jobs available for recent high school graduates, including fast food and wait staff, but these are, by no means, your limited options. You could work industry through a temporary service or deliver pizzas which, if you have a good area, can be very profitable. You can also look at jobs that could take advantage of the limited education you have, such as bank teller (if you are good in math) or cashier (if you are a people person). While there are not too many jobs, high paying ones, for a high school graduate, if you are willing to take a lower pay, the jobs are there.

Depending on if you are choosing to go on to further your education after your high school graduation or take some time off and work now, the options are out there. If you chose college, take housing into account, it can be a very important deciding factor. Should you chose, instead, to further your education through a tech school, location is one of the major points to look at. If, however, you decide to join the work force immediately after your high school graduation , then look to see what is available with the skills that you possess and take into account subjects you were good in and that you enjoyed. Finding a job that you enjoy will make the work easier and you will have fun at the same time.
