Isn\u2019t it common to see confused teenagers? I didn\u2019t even know what course to pursue after high school graduation; did you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High school is a rollercoaster ride. Teenagers are at their peak of hormonal changes and on the cusp of career transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students may admit it or not, but they do need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a real task for students to understand their interests and go through the college selection and admission process. There will be rejections and application errors, so students should receive proper guidance for subject selection and admissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, a student with only a high school diploma earned a median wage of $30,000 annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other school of thought mentions that a college degree does not define an individual\u2019s career. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is also true that everyone has their own journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Counseling Necessary in High School?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We all know that students are often confused about selecting their majors in college. We have all been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
