Question

Carmine’s guidance counselor wants to meet with her about her plans for after graduation. Carmine is not sure what she wants to do, so she does not want to go to the meeting. She figures she can deal with everything after she graduates. She knows that she does not want to go to college so she does not need to worry about any applications. Is this a good strategy?

A.
Yes, she has the rest of her life to figure out what she wants to do so the meeting is not likely to help.

B.
Yes, very few peoples’ lives go exactly as they plan anyway, so the meeting is likely a waste of time.

C.
No, her guidance counselor could be a valuable resource for many other options so she should attend the meeting.

D.
No, only ambitious people succeed so she should attend the meeting to learn how to be more ambitious.

Answer 1

The best answer is C. Carmine's guidance counselor could be a valuable resource for exploring a wide range of post-graduation options, even if she has ruled out college. The counselor can provide information on vocational schools, apprenticeships, internships, and other career paths that do not require a college degree. Additionally, the counselor may be able to offer advice on developing important skills such as networking, time management, and goal-setting that can be useful in any career. Ultimately, Carmine's decision on what to do after graduation will be up to her, but attending the meeting could provide her with valuable information and guidance to make a more informed decision.
