Why Planning is Important• The economy has dramatically changed during the

last 10 – 20 years and will continue to change.• Students who have a plan are more likely to achieve

their education goals on time and on budget.• Understanding the educational requirements for a

job is the first step to pursuing that career.• Exploring occupations can help individuals find a

career path that works for them.
