Was-it-the-Right-Choice.

End of High School.

It was the end of high school. I was lost, and I didn't know what to choose among all the careers. Based on my preferences, two choices were available to me. I want a job where I can work outside and stay active, but office work doesn't scare me.

Choice 2 : Apply to a College.

Since I can handle tools, I built things all the time. My dad has a construction company, and he always brings me on the job site to help him. I'm a hands-on person.I thought it would be great to work as a carpenter or an electrician, but my mom wants me to obtain a college diploma.

Choice 1 : Work in Construction Anyway.

Choice 2 : Go Back to the Beginning and Apply to a College
