When it comes to thinking about life after high school, which of the following is a good resource person to seek out?

if you don't feel ready or even want to go to college (which is very important to note that you DO NOT have to attend a college based on what you choose to do) you could take a gap year!

gap years can be for earning money, traveling getting footing before entering the mess that is young adlut life

there is finding exactly what it is that you want to pressure,

if you already know what you want to do, if that is in a section of careers that requires a college education then i'd start with reserching, community colleges for your basics and then after that find a college that best suits your major, the reason I say go to a community college first is because of the dreadful student debt, it is much, much cheeper to do your basics (english (or which ever language) math, science, ect) in a place where you arent paying your life away and when you finish your basics you can focus all towards you major!

and most importantly, I would advise learning as many life skills as possible, Budgeting, healthy living, organization and observation skills, like learning to live on a tight budget as a kid coming out of highschool, you probably dont have a lot of cash, its amazing if you already have a job but if you don't then, looking into how to write job applications is a important skill!!

drivers licenses is another thing, you can already get them in highschool if you'd like, but if you havent alreqady driving and having a car is a priority if you are getting a job, if you cant afford a car thats fine!

there are alternatives like biking which is eco friendly, public transportation is another great way to get around on a tight budget.

if you cannot find a job after highschool there is always great things like web design which makes great money, and it can be rather easy to learn code.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for but I really, really hope it helps in anyway ~
