Step Three: Make Plans and Take Action

Finally, consider issues that can affect your plans and take appropriate actions to accomplish your goals.

Consider:

  • What do you need to study?
  • What schools offer the training you need?
  • How will you pay for school?
  • How ready are you to search for a job?
  • How will you balance your work and going to school?
  • How will you manage family or relationship commitments?

Things your child can do:

  • Discuss your career and educational plans with your parents, counselor, or other interested people.
  • Make a checklist of questions to ask if you are visiting schools.
  • Explore schools, majors, and job search information using ACT's DISCOVER.
