Introduction
Career choice is a significant issue in the developmental live of youths
because it is reported to be associated with positive as well as harmful
psychological, physical and socio-economic inequalities that persist well beyond
the youthful age into an individual's adult life (Robertson, 2014; Bubić and
Ivanišević, 2016).
The complexity of career decision-making increases as age increases (Gati
and Saka, 2001). Younger children are more likely to offer answers about their
ideal career which may represent their envisioned utopia and phenomenal
perceptions about what they want to do when they grow up. Now that you are
on the right age on to determining your career, it is important that you reflect
on what should be developed in yourself in order to be ready for your chosen
career.

Factors that will help on your Career decisions

Timing. How much time must I invest before I actually start making money in
this career? Will I need to spend additional time in school? Is there a
certification process that requires a specific amount of experience? If so, can I
afford to wait?

Finances. Will this career provide me with the kind of income I need in the
short term and the security I’ll want in the longer term? What investment will I
need to make to be successful in this field (education, tools, franchise fees,
etc.)?

Location. Does this career require me to relocate? Is the ideal location for this
career somewhere I would like to live? Is it somewhere my family would like to
live?

Family/personal. How will this career affect my personal and family life? Do
friends and family members who know me well feel strongly (for or against)
about this career choice? How important is their input?

7 tips that will lead you to success

By: Randal Hansen

Tip 1: Don't Stop at High School

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, slightly more than three in every five
high school graduates continue on to college (with young women doing so at a
slightly higher rate than young men).

Tip 2: Finalize College Plans

The fall of your senior year is the time to finalize the list of colleges and
universities that seem best suited for your needs. You'll want to spend time with
your family, friends, and guidance counselor in paring down (or developing)
your list of the best schools for you in terms of the criteria you deem most
important.

Tip 3: Avoid Senioritis and the Senior Slump

There's a common misconception that once you've made it to your senior year --
and especially once you've been accepted by colleges -- that senior grades don't
matter. But colleges do request and review senior grades, especially from the
first half of the school year. Be forewarned, though, that if you let your grades
slip anytime during the year, colleges have the right to ask you to document
and explain why your current grades have dropped below previous years.

Tip 4: Keep Challenging Yourself

While senior year might seem the right time to load up on those electives you've
been dying to take instead of advanced or honors classes, you might want to
hold off on taking too many easy electives. Many colleges recommend that your
senior year should be designed to best prepare you for your first year in college,
and some of the more selective schools may downgrade your application if you
ease up on the challenging courses.

Tip 5: Stay Involved

If you've been involved in various social clubs, actively volunteered with local
agencies, or have been involved in the community in other ways, don't stop now
just because it's your senior year or because you no longer need to do it to
impress the colleges and universities. Make a lifelong commitment to give back
to your community. You'll be helping others, making an impact on people's lives
and you'll feel the better for it. And volunteering also helps you gain important
career skills and can possibly even help you in discovering a college major or
career path.

Tip 6: Strive for Balance

The key for you is to avoid burnout. You have your high school work, college
planning, social activities, family obligations, and outside activities (such as
jobs, volunteering, etc.) -- all demanding your time. Try and keep your life
balanced -- and be sure to schedule time just for yourself. Don't take yourself
too seriously. And remember that while you don't want to have a senior slump,
it's equally important not to crash and burn.

Tip 7: Set Life and Career Goals

As you reach the precipice of your primary education and are about to make
that leap into the journey of the rest of your life, now -- amid the relative calm of
senior year -- is a great time to find a quiet spot and reflect on your future
career and life goals. Don't worry about definite and don't let yourself get bogged
down in specifics; instead, focus on issues such as what you are searching for
out of work and a career, what success means to you, what is important in your
life.
