On the contrary, career planning is a process that begins before high school, and most naturally should continue into the college years. Career planning, in fact, is an ongoing process that allows you to rethink and reevaluate yourself and your career options as you have experiences, and as you grow and develop.<\/p>\n<p>At the high school level, perhaps the best way of starting is to begin the process of self-exploration. Self-exploration allows you to think about your:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skills and abilities<\/li>\n<li>Interests<\/li>\n<li>Personal preferences<\/li>\n<li>Training and education<\/li>\n<li>Life experiences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Why Career Planning in High School?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The career planning needs of high school students differ from those of college students.
