more education after that (2 year college, technical school?), do you want a Bachelor’s degree (4 years in

**If you are passionate about one of these, than choose it, but again “Doesn’t matter” gives you choices!

career!

Average – Jobs grow a little bit each year

Faster – Jobs grow a lot each year. Lots of openings
