(NAPSI)—School may soon be out if you are a graduating senior, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have homework. Here are some tips to help you navigate the new responsibilities in your life:

• Discuss your career goals with counselors, teachers and family and ask their advice.

• Gather information on careers that interest you. Talk with people who are working in those occupations and find out what it takes to succeed.

• Create a résumé to use in job application and create a list of admission requirements for schools you would like to attend.

• If you are a young man, register with the Selective Service System. Remember, registration is required by law within 30 days of turning 18.

You can register by mail, at the U.S. Postal Service or online with a smartphone or computer. Simply log on to www.sss.gov and click on the registration icon.

Remember, men must register to remain eligible for Pell Grants, College Work-Study and Guaranteed Student/PLUS Loans, federal job- training programs and federal jobs.
