AFTER HIGH SCHOOL – NOW WHAT?

  • サマリー

  • We have discussed institutions of higher learning in another podcast, but today, we will discuss graduating high school students who may have had enough of school—at least for now. A son is not sure if he wants to go to college. A daughter thinks she wants to be a dentist, a hairdresser, or a chef but is unsure what these entail. Today, let's talk about how to help those kids.

    Show Notes:

    Some kids are great students and have plans and professional aspirations. BUT

    College is now the default for many families, but should they reconsider?

    • Cost is prohibitive.
    • Campus life is less than wholesome.
    • Is Junior or Sis ready to leave home?
    • Do your grad’s aspirations require college?

    What should they do? Some possibilities

    Get a Job - You cannot go wrong with taking a year off to think about your future and earn some money.

    · Build "employment skills." Show up on time, Learn to take orders from a superior, navigate a workplace, and stay off your phone.

    · Test Drive a job in a field your student is considering: Front desk at a hair salon or dental office, carpenter's helper, restaurant host.

    · Learn Money Skills - Build a bank account, buy and insure a car.

    Go into the Military

    • Great benefits - Job training and after discharge: Free education - Low-cost mortgages
    • Learn teamwork - Hard work - Physical fitness - Discipline
    • Travel on the government's dime.

    Take Time to Build a Spiritual Life

    Frequent Mass and Confession - Get regular spiritual direction - Go on retreat

    Volunteer in your Community

    Church: altar server, lector, choir, teach CCD – Scouts – Help an elderly neighbor
