Introduction
Choosing a career is a very big challenge faced by every child after and during the
completion of its high school life. The ending period in high school is a tough time where every
student is required to get serious and take diverse decisions in the relation of opting up for their
career. Mostly all the students like to opt for those ways which can take them towards the path
where they can continue with their studies. But few students may also lose their ways and get
completely wrong in the eyes of the other students.
There are several overwhelming career options which a child may go through such as he
may do some kind of jobs, take a year gap for thinking that what must be done and what not and
also can go for further studies. But once if a child is assured that he wants to peruse with further
educations then also he/ she is surrounded by many questions such as what is the correct option
for them? Why they must take it up as a career? Which degree they must get associated with?
Etc.
So in this report, the comparison and contradictions will be made about choosing up of
different careers i.e. military, trade school or the college immediately after the completion of the
high school along with the pros and cons of each of the opted options.
Choosing up of career
Life doesn't end after high school infects it is the beginning when there are no gym
classes or the teachers running and shouting behind a student for homework. So once a child gets
converted into an adult, it becomes really important for them to take up good and healthy
decisions so that they may have a bright future which can only become possible of they take up
correct paths for themselves. In taking the major decisions of the child’s life it is the parents and
the teachers and sometimes even the peer group who may lend a helping hand (UTI, 2018).

College life
The college life tends to prepare the child for a wide range of professional career options.
College life aids the child to get prepared for facing all the upcoming challenges which they had
not faced in their high school life where they were highly supervised and guided by their teachers
at every step. College life requires the child to work very hard and that too without any sufficient
supervision. There would be no IEP (Individualized Educational Programs) for helping the child
to remain on the correct path (Stefanakos, 2018).
College life is that time which grooms and strengthens the skills and overcomes the
weaknesses of the child and prepares him for dealing up with the real-life situations of the outer
world at large. College is considered an educational institution or an essential part of one's life
which may provide a degree or tertiary education and sometimes they may also become an
essential part of federal universities. It is also considered as an institution which may offer the
students a vocational education. In U.S colleges are defined as that essential part of a university
or a tertiary educational institution that provides degrees (Stefanakos, 2018).
Pros and cons of opting the college life immediately after the high-school completion are
as follows:
Sl no. Pros Cons
1 Without having a long break if a
student keeps a continuous touch in
the studies and joins college then its
link will not be broken, because it is
very difficult to get back to studies if
once it is left in middle.
Here one is to be dependent on self
without the supervision of any
professional at every stage.
