What are your post-graduation plans?
My post-graduate plans are to join the electrician union when I turn 19 because right now I’m currently apprenticing with a family friend.
How did you make your decision?
It took a while. There’s a couple of reasons, mostly the money. When I took VoTech, it came to me as one of those things that wasn’t too hard to do. But also, not a lot of people were able to do it th same way I did it.
How would you describe your post-grad search?
Just realizing that I did need to make a decision soon coming out of high school. It’s one of the easiest things to do to make money without going to college, or going to a cheap college just to get a license.
What advice do you have?
Keep your eyes open for as long as you can but don’t keep them open so long that you close doors, or too late. Keep your options open, but know your deadlines.
