High School is a microcosm of adult life. Nearly everything you learned there will apply but with greater importance or consequences. If you did well socially, go corporate. You'll move up fast and navigate the bureaucracy of office politics with ease. If you were the smart but an anti-social outcast, become a consultant or start your own company. For everything in between, there are natural transitions to the 'real' world leveraging your talents and your specific resources, whatever they may be. If you go against the grain because you evolved or are evolving it'll be hard but you can do it and it will be your story to tell. In the end whatever you do, make sure it's something you love because that's the secret to happiness, and happiness is one of the ultimate goals in life.
