TAKE ACTION:
- Encourage your children to spend time in their high school guidance office, reading through career and college planning materials.
- Talk to your teenagers about how they feel about themselves and what they envision for their future.
- If your teenager is passionate about animals, encourage her or him to consider education or career paths that involve animals when she or he considers post-high school opportunites. There are many.
- Ask your kids about their goals and dreams. Help them think about the resources (financial and otherwise) they will need to make these goals a reality.
