What if I don't know what I want to do?


Sarah from Confederation College shares her thoughts on how you can figure out which program or school is right for you

Narrator: Do you wonder if it is worth the time and effort to start college, university, or an apprenticeship? You are not alone. Are there too many choices? Does it cost too much? Is it too difficult? Each year thousands of people just like you struggle with these types of questions.

When I am finished high school I am going into college or university, any ideas would probably be maybe carpentry. I am looking at carpentry. I am talking with my guidance counselors and we are just looking at different options too.

Sarah: It's okay if you don't know exactly what you want to do just think about it, talk to teachers, talk to guidance counselors, see if there's test or something that you can take to kind of steer you in the right direction. Don't feel pressured like you have to pick the right thing right away. You can go to school for one year and if you decide to change your mind that's fine, at least you have one year under your belt. Make sure you finish that one year before you switch.
