I sell success. Specifically successful transitions from school to work. This has been my research since 2004. What I have learned, along with the essence of the Parachute Process, is in the 4th edition of What Color Is Your Parachute for Teens. The tar pits of student debt and majors that lead to low paying jobs with few employment opportunities have claimed too many Millennials and GenZ already. It's not about if you go to university or where you go to university, but what you study. There are dozens of badges, short term certificates or Associate of Arts degrees that lead to high paying, challenging jobs with advancement opportunities. No job will last for lifetime. You need to find a job that will finance your twenties. Whether you want your university studies to yield great ROI or need a shorter path to gaining qualifications, you need a plan. And plans take time to develop. No student should leave high school without a well researched plan to learn skills in high demand in their favorite fields. Invest in your future. Make a plan for life after high school. Identify your end job or career goal and make sure you know every step to get you from where you are to where you want to go. My humble thanks to each and every person who has bought, used or posted reviews of any edition.
