Get answers; get control.

Be like Jack.

Jack was a high school student who dreamed of a bright future. Every day Sam would swim in a sea of information about colleges, majors and careers. He constantly received emails and advice from his counselors, colleges, and his parents. Deep down, Jack questioned whether college was the right path for him or not. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone but he had his own dreams and aspirations. One day, Jack joined a guided program where HE determined the right professions for him and developed a plan to get there on his own, without college. Because of that, Jack became more confident in who he is and what he wants. Because of that, Jack is able to go after his dreams without wasting time and money, getting real experience day 1. Until finally, Jack is in control of his future, happy and excited again.

What's the right next path?

Dear Parents,

As a young student, I struggled with what to be when I grew up. The only plan I had was given to me by others. I kept thinking more education would illuminate the path and provide the answers for me. It didn’t. I then began to see my daughter going down the same road, uncertain of herself and her future, questioning herself and losing confidence. I decided I needed to help her by figuring out a better way. I created What's Next as a career advisor and college planner for kids. Not to create a hard and fast “plan” for them but to provide them with confidence, self-assurance and peace of mind, knowing what their strengths are, understanding who they are at their core, and developing a sense of what they care about improving in the world. The world is changing fast. Having a college degree isn't a guarantee of success and isn't even necessary for success. Kids are smart enough to know this and they're very anxious because of it. I promise that if your kid follows the program, they will be knowledgeable about who they are and what makes them tick. They will decide on what path makes the most sense for them and they will have the tools to support that next step.
