Parents Only
Life after high school can be exciting yet stressful for your children. Prior to age 18 life unfolds in a fairly linear fashion but once a young adult, it seems like there are a thousand decisions to make and a million and one options to choose from: Go to college? Get a Job? Join the military? Backpack around the world?
Everyone can use sound advice - that’s where you come into play as a parent and we’re here to act as your aide. Within the Parents Only section, you’ll find articles addressing how you can help your children embark on their footpath and reach their chosen destinations.
You may be interested in our articles on college funding, admissions, college selection, and non-college options such as travel, gap year, and the military. We'd also welcome your input on these topics and more in our Get Answers section.
Throughout the rest of myFootpath, you’ll find tools to help all young adults, whether they are still in high school or have been working for several years and considering going back to school. We invite you to peruse the entire site and share our resources with your children. |
