Get prepared for life after high school

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be when they are adults — and how they can get there. Others aren't sure of their plans, and that's okay too.
Regardless of what you want to be, you most likely will be heading toward higher education of some kind, and our Guide to Life after High School can help you prepare. You'll learn about careers, academic preparation for college, how to pay for college, and managing your financial life after high school graduation. You will need about 25 minutes to complete a guide.
To complete an interactive guide, you must be at least 13 years of age. In addition, your school or educator instructing you to complete the guide must elect to participate.
If you are under the age of 13 or your school/educator doesn't participate, you can read a printable guide linked below.
To begin the interactive guide, provide your date of birth:
Month      Day      Year   
I certify the above date of birth is true and correct.
