Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. It really depends on the career. Some professional careers needs a college degree, eg accountant, doctor, engineer,etc. Some careers you can.learn the skills in vocational schools, eg hair styling, make up artist, chef, etc
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers
Eg if you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music composer, music producer, etc
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Find out what knowledge and skills need for these careers and determine whether you can learn the skills in colleges, vocational schools or other trading centre, etc
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Savita’s Answer

Absolutely, a large number of businesses are now setting a four-year degree as a minimum requirement. Possessing such a degree can unlock a wealth of opportunities and pave the way for career progression in the corporate world. Moreover, it aids in recognizing your areas of strength and areas that need improvement, providing a roadmap to overcome any weaknesses.

Savita recommends the following next steps:

take an aptitude test to identify your personality
reach out to a career counselor with the area of study you want to explore and draft a plan
make this career plan your bible until you achieve the goal

Going to school isn’t for everybody. It is the best way to gain the knowledge you need. You can get experience working or go to school that’s how I look at it. Do what’s best for you cater to your strengths and abilities. God gives everyone a purpose you can listen or figure it on your own trust your instincts.

Kara’s Answer

Start by identifying your strengths and talents. Remember, not all professions require a college degree; some might just need a trade school qualification. If you're unsure about your career path, seek advice from your guidance counselor. Taking an aptitude test can also be beneficial in understanding your skills and abilities better.

Amanda’s Answer

Also, think strongly about which your strengths and aptitudes you enjoy doing. Just because you're good at something, doesn't mean it's going to be the right fit, if it turns out that it's something you hate doing! Spending years in college perfecting an ability that you don't enjoy, can easily lead to spending more years in a job or industry that you end up hating. That's definitely not good for your mental health, so keep that in mind!

And on the converse side; just because you're not good at something *now* does NOT mean tht you cannot get good at it with education, practice and experience. If here's something you are extremely interested in, and want to do, but don't feel you're very good at, look for local community programs for that! Maybe see if you can meet some folks in that field who can give you a run-down of what their day is like, or let you shadow them, etc. There are lots of options out there, and college is a great one for a lot of folks, but it is not the only option!
