AIM HIGH !

Whatever you set your mind on, there is much you can accomplish. To prepare yourself, you must take the time to find out the skills you will need to succeed at your goals. Take as many courses as you can that will teach you the skills you need, and take every opportunity to practice those skills. Participating in summer jobs, tutoring others, or taking advanced classes are only a few of the ways to gain more experience and practice in the skills you are trying to develop.

Look for opportunities to explore possible career choices during high school and college through summer internship programs, summer jobs, career days, or volunteer work. Participation in extracurricular activities, such as after-school clubs, summer camps, interviews with experts in your fields of interest, and lectures, will enhance your learning and provide you with unique experiences.

Seek career information from your school counselors, teachers, parents, family friends, and role models. In addition, you may wish to contact a local career center, vocational-technical center, or community college. The more information you can collect on the types of work you would like to do, the better you can prepare yourself during high school and college with the subjects you need to learn for your future.
