Sat Test

Now that you’ve decided to go to college, you have some big decisions to make. Where do you want to spend the next four years of your life? Do you want to be a doctor? Have you thought about perhaps being a vet or a businessman or even a teacher?

Teachers are in high demand right now and it’s a noble profession to consider. Maybe you want to become a nurse, a chiropractor or a physical therapist. There are so many career choices out there and only one you. What are your interests? Do you love animals and want to spend your life caring for them? Perhaps opening a business where you care or groom animals is something you’d be interested in taking on. Getting a degree in business would be to your advantage if you’re going to open your own business.

The high tech world is always booming and learning about networking and computer systems is always in demand and can be highly lucrative.

An excellent way to find out if a career is for you is to go on a job shadow. Perhaps someone you know has a career that you like. Ask them if you can spend the day with them, watching what they do and experiencing their job. A great many high schools have their seniors do a job shadow for part of their senior project. What better way to learn if spending your life working with yapping dogs is something you’d enjoy. If your high school doesn’t have a job shadowing requirement for your senior project you can always simply do it yourself.

There are many resources on the Internet that will allow you to find out about different careers and which one might be the one for you. Try googling career tests to find some free tests that will ask you questions and help you determine where you should best focus yur time and energy.

If you’re good at math and love to figure things out, then a degree in Engineering might be something you want to look into. If you enjoy helping people and taking care of others then nursing or other health related fields might be what you desire.

There is no end to what you can become if you put your mind to it. If you want to take your time to figure out what you want to major in, that’s fine too. Most schools allow you to not declare a major for a certain amount of time. This will allow you to take the core classes necessary for graduation while you make your decision on what you want your degree to be in. You will have the opportunity to speak to your college counselor if you’re having difficulties in making this decision. They will be able to guide you and give you more resources in order to help you determine what your major should be.

If you’re a senior in high school then you know that there are a lot of decisions to be made concerning your future. You’re probably trying to keep a high grade point average in order to get into college, because everyone knows that having a college degree translates into a better paying career down the line for you. If you’re also taking Advanced Placement Classes, then you already know a little bit about how a college class is going to feel. Advanced Placement classes are more difficult than your average high school class. You may be shopping around for a college and if so you should know that you’re going to need to fill out a lot of forms for admission. On top of all the admission forms, there are several other items that you will want to fill out.

FAFSA is the Free Application for Free Student Aid. This is federal program, and before you can even begin to fill out this FAFSA, you must first secure a pin number from the following website. http://www.pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/pinindex.jsp In order to get your PIN number, you will need to answer some questions and give your social security number. If you supply an email address, you will receive an email with a link telling you where to find your PIN number. This does not happen right away. A federal PIN number takes three to four days to be completed. Your mother or father can also fill out a PIN application because they will need to sign your completed FAFAS form once it’s completed. You will be able to sign your FAFSA form with your PIN numbers, unless you want to wait for a paper form to be mailed to you via snail mail. It’s far faster to sign electronically with your PIN number.

Once you have your PIN number, you can go to the FAFSA at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before004.htm and fill out your application for student aid. Keep your PIN number in a safe place and do not share it with anyone, even if a person or organization is helping you fill out your application. This is an important number, one you will be using every year in order to access your records and sign a FAFSA each year you apply for federal student aid.

Before you even begin to fill out the FAFSA, you will need to have some information handy. You’ll need your social security number as well as your parent’s tax information for the preceding year.

There is a worksheet you can use before you actually fill out the FAFSA. I recommend using the worksheet because it will save you time in the long run.

After you’ve filled out your FAFSA, it will be three to four business days before your form is ready and you will be notified via email once it’s finished.

In order to receive any kind of federal student aid you must fill out the FAFSA. Each year you apply for student aid you will use this PIN number. Keep it as secure as you would your social security number.
