interests and understand the earnings potential of their future
career
Planning for college is an exciting moment in any student’s life
and brings with it many important decisions. Students need to pick
a school that is the right fit, determine a major that matches
their skills and interests and also evaluate different career paths
post-college. These are big life decisions for anyone, let alone
for someone in high school.

To help students and their families navigate some of the complex
decisions as they start to think about their college experience,
Discover Student Loans recently launched My College Plan.
Discover’s innovative tool guides students as they select their
institution type, and provides the skills needed to forecast how
their college decisions will impact them while in college as well
as after they graduate.
“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when planning for college since
there are so many choices. That’s why we developed a tool for
students and their families to easily evaluate their options,” said
Manny Chagas, vice president of Discover Student Loans. “College
requires a big investment, so it is critical that students and
families feel confident in their choices and how those decisions
could influence their future.”
By using My College Plan, students can explore the implications
of choosing different schools, majors, and career paths. Once
students enter some simple information, My College Plan helps them
compare the cost of attendance, expected federal student loan debt
and predict median salary for different schools and career
paths.
“Understanding their financial situation, post-graduation, can
help students choose a school and, potentially, a major. Future
salaries should become part of the conversation earlier and help
inform how much to invest in college now,” Chagas said.
My College Plan is available on
https://www.discover.com/student-loans/calculators/college-plan and
adds to the extensive suite of free resources designed to help
families navigate the college decision-making process.
