Teens are thinking about the future. Sometimes the choices can be overwhelming. Is your teen confused about his career path? Meredith Curtis presents a Christ-centered approach to making decisions.

Once we have a good list of potential careers, it's time to research them further with the Occupational Outlook Handbook to learn more about the work involved, education required, workplace, salary, and growth forecast for the years ahead. Updated each year by the federal government, the Occupational Outlook Handbook is a free online resource.

As part of our journey, we look at the college question. While college is necessary for many careers, it is not the only option. This manual helps teens make the college decision with their parents.
