Financially Smart Career Planning For Teens: The Roadmap to Making Informed Decisions In An Uncertain Job Market, Preven, (Paperback)

Plan for your dream career and take control of your future without going into debt!

Are you a High School or Secondary School student worried about upcoming college and career planning decisions?

Are you at that point in your life where you have to make a choice about your future?

Have you been told repeatedly that going to college is the only way to ensure career success?

Have all those student loan horror stories made you wary of going into debt for an education?

Graduating from high school should be an exciting time. You're finally done with this chapter in your life, and are ready to take on new and more challenging opportunities as you move toward adulthood and independence.

But it's also a time when you feel the pressure to make a decision - pick a major, choose a school, figure out your career path.

With so many options to choose from, this can be a paralyzing process. Choosing one option may mean you're closing the door to better ones. What if you make the wrong choice?

Even more, with the cost of college tuition averaging tens of thousands of dollars, it may seem like you're doomed to start your career already burdened by student debt.

Student debt is not only a financial burden you could be carrying around for the next 10 to 20 years. It could also impede major life decisions and negatively affect your mental health and overall quality of life.

The good news is, a college degree and student debt aren't your only options. You can still get access to valuable training and practical experience that will set you up for a flourishing career... without having to enter your working life in Major College Debt!

It's all in this information-packed handbook filled with practical advice and information from an expert who chose an alternative educational path... and found great success and security.
