Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Set your college goals. You know what you are interested in better than anyone else.
2. Find a technical college that offers the best program to meet your goals. It may be one close to home, but you may need to move somewhere else to go to school.
3. Make sure the technical college you choose has the proper accreditation in your field. Also, confirm that they accept any credits you may have from another institution.
4. Visit the school. Take the "official" tour the college offers, but also spend time on campus visiting with students. Ask them about the program. Also, talk with teachers in your field of study. While you are visiting the school, also spend time in the town where the college is located.
5. Ask if the program you are about to choose prepares you for employment immediately after completion. Find out what the school's post-graduation placement rate is. Ask what the school does to help you secure employment.
6. Calculate how much the program costs. Find out if scholarships, grants or other financial assistance are available and whether you are eligible.

Tips & Warnings

• Decide what you want to be doing five years from now, ten years in the future and so on. You may not actually do what you trained for by the time you retire, but you can at least be happy with your plan.
