CAREER EXPLORATION
"What will you do when you graduate?" OR "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
The closer you get to the end of high school, the more you hear these questions.
Are you feeling like you don't have a clue about what you want to do?
Feeling uninspired by ideas of a career path?
Or do you want some assurance you are CHOOSING RIGHT CAREER?
Read on for some advice to help.
Visit our NEW CAREER EXPLORATION PAGE for more inspiration:
FIRST: LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF
We all have things that we naturally gravitate towards. Maybe you love Math and Science. Maybe you love writing. Maybe you love the Arts. Maybe you love working with computers. Notice the things that come easy to you and that you have a natural aptitude for.
What did you learn about yourself by doing the APTITUDE TESTS? Are there any career that keeps popping up over and over? Were there any "aha!" moments as you read about your results?
THEN: LEARN ABOUT SPECIFIC CAREERS
