When talking together about your future after high school, consider each of these paths:
- Work
- Military
- Apprenticeship
- Certificate program
- 2-year community college
- 4-year college
Which path is needed for your field of interest? And, consider the costs. Luke 14:28 reminds us to first sit down and count the cost of what we are building, and in this instance you are planning on building your future.
