Your teenager doesn't need to know what they want to do for the rest of their life. Good career planning starts smaller: understanding interests, abilities, experiences, limitations, and what might be worth trying next. Sometimes direction is far more valuable than certainty.

Graduation is a milestone worth celebrating, but it's not the finish line. Many families spend months preparing for the ceremony while giving far less attention to what happens afterward. Thoughtful planning before graduation can help young adults move into the next chapter with greater confidence and direction.
