Undecided, 2nd Edition: Navigating Life and Learning After High School

Cut through the chaos and find the path that's right for you

Deciding what to do after high school is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. And that's a lot of pressure to deal with (especially when everyone else is telling you what they think you should be doing) Undecided will help you come to grips with this often-overwhelming time of transition by putting the decision-making power back where it belongs: with you.

Undecided begins by helping students think seriously about who they are and what they want and then moves on to dissect the various options that are available after high school, such as enrolling in a training program, attending a community college, taking a gap year, enlisting in the military, pursuing a traditional four-year degree, and more. It also takes an in-depth look at how to manage student debt, what you can expect to earn, the kind of lifestyle you may lead, and the possible pitfalls of all of these scenarios. Full of checklists, anecdotes, brainstorming activities, and journal exercises, this book will help you stop procrastinating, put your stress aside, and get busy living.
