- Career exploration is challenging, irrespective of age. It's especially tough for high schoolers right now. _Most young people are not sure what they want to do after graduating high school. Many have only limited exposure to the range of possibilities they could pursue after graduating. They're increasingly skeptical of traditional higher ed options, and alternative paths are unclear.
