Find a career you love

Choosing what you would like to do for the rest of your life can be pretty overwhelming for most students. The idea that, as a high school student, you are expected to decide what career you will enjoy doing every day can seem scary. One of my students described his view of the future as endless 40 hour work weeks and while there is certainly some truth to this statement, the goal is that you will find a career you love. When you enjoy your job and find it fulfilling and rewarding, then every day will give you something meaningful.

It is fun to dream about your future and I hope you will ultimately find a job that is as meaningful to you as my job as a high school counselor is to me!

Don't hesitate to chase after whatever dreams you have for your future.  And, know that you are capable of making your dreams a reality.  While the jobs you might have during high school or the first jobs you have after graduating from high school aren't always your dream positions, working provides many valuable life skills.  Don't forget that juniors and seniors are invited to attend the Worthington Schools virtual job fair tomorrow morning in the library from 8:30-10am.  Who knows, it just may spark an interest for you and careers for the future.
