Knowing it's Important

Postsecondary education will give you the classroom instruction that you need and the opportunity to practice those skills so that you can be good at your job in the future. In high school, you pretty much learn the basics. It’s hard to spend a lot of time studying something you are really interested in because there are all these other things you have to learn in order to graduate.

When you go on for more school, you have a chance to take classes that you really want to take –- things you really want to learn and are interested in, which is very cool. But it also costs money which, unlike high school, has to come from you, your family, or government programs or scholarships.
