So,if you are not college-bound after high school, what are some of your options?
Learna Trade Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships, at one time, were the only way for young people to get a foot in the door to their careers. If you have an interest in a particular trade, such as technology or construction, seek out jobs in the trade that will not only give you valuable experience but guide you toward advancement by helping you with the certifications or licenses you need to succeed. For example, one high-school graduate worked for a pool construction company for several years,learning every aspect of the business before earning her swimming pool contractors license and starting her own business. Another tool to learning a trade is to obtain your certification in that field.

Get a Job
Nothing helps more with that transition to adulthood than holding down a full-time job.Your goal should be to move away from the companies that typically hire teens for part-time work to employers that can provide a future. Often larger employers have more opportunities, so start your search there. Also identify employers whose product or service interests you and whose culture you respect. For example, the person who started working for AT&T in the mail room because he knew it would be a foot in the door, and now, years later, still with just a high school education, is a highly valued member of the company's corporate technology staff. Use our Job-Search 101Tutorial for tools and strategies in finding a job.
Volunteer
While you are trying to find your place in the world, why not spend those first few years after high school making a difference? While you may be familiar with the Peace Corps, they actually prefer college graduates, so you might instead consider looking locally to make a difference or consider such nationalprograms as Americorps, which offers 17-24year-olds the chance to make a difference through a national network ofhundreds of programs throughout the U.S., as wel as the Student Conservation Association, which has conservation programs (jobs and internships) throughout the U.S. for adults 18 or older.
Attend Community College or Vocational School
A great way to ease into college and explore more about who you are and what you want to do in life is taking one or more classes at your local community (or technical) college. Classes are cheaper and admission much easier -- and many students work a tleast part-time to pay their way. You can either take a few classes, follow adiploma or certification track, or advance toward your associate's degree. Many community colleges have agreements with four-year colleges, so that if you decide college is right for you, you can then transfer those credits.
