WHY THINK ABOUT YOUR CAREER NOW?
3: LEVEL/ TYPE OF EDUCATION AFTER HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS
WHAT COUNTS AS “POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION” ?
➤   College
    ➤   2-year/ Community like Shoreline Community College
    ➤   4-year like Eastern Washington or Lewis & Clark College.
➤   Apprenticeship
➤   Vocational/ Technical School
    ➤   Sometimes called Career Colleges

➤   Sometimes Vocational Schools & Community Colleges are the same
    institutions. At SCC, you can gain certification to do a certain job, or
    you can get an Associate degree so that you can transfer to a university.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE UP
