Talking to adults about your career options can feel awkward, especially when you're not 100% sure what you want to do yet. But having these conversations can actually help you feel more confident in your decision.

When you approach adults like teachers, family members, or mentors, you're gaining insight from people who’ve experienced different career paths. They can help you think through your options, point out opportunities, and even connect you with people in your field of interest. Plus, explaining your career goals out loud can help you feel more confident and clear about your choices.

The key is to come prepared. Know what you're interested in and be ready to share what you're learning. Then, be open to feedback — you can take what makes sense and leave the rest.
