Academic & Career Advisor
I educate and support students in all aspects of postsecondary planning that prepares them for their future after HS.
My mornings are spent advising students about their postsecondary planning, scheduling college field trips, scheduling admission and military reps to present at our campus, planning ApplyTexas Bootcamps, Financial Aid Nights, FAFSA workshops, coordinating internship opportunities, and supporting staff in implementing college & career readiness within the advisory classes. My afternoons are spent teaching the College & Career Readiness course to our 9th grade students.
Here's the first step for high school students
I would recommend trying to find an internship opportunity or a entry-level position in that career area first to see if this really something that you want to do before pursuing it and possibly spending time and money on something that may not be a good fit.
