Before You Choose, Know Your Options

So far in our Summer Career Series, we've introduced you to careers in technology, healthcare, environmental industries, and the skilled trades. Some of those careers may have surprised you. Others you may never have heard of before.

 

That's exactly why we created this series.

 

The world of work is changing faster than ever. New careers are emerging every year. Industries are evolving. Technology is transforming almost every occupation.

 

So here's a question.

 

Are you choosing a career based on what's available ... or only on what you already know?

That's an important difference.

 

Choosing your future isn't just about selecting a college, university, or apprenticeship. It's about investing your time, your energy, and often a great deal of money in a direction you hope will be right for you.

 

Before you make that investment, make sure you've explored your options.

 

Whether you've already applied, are making your final decision, or are just beginning to think about your future, this is the perfect time to look beyond the obvious.

 

You may discover a career that fits your talents, interests, and personality better than anything you've considered so far.

 

If you're wondering where to begin, start with the Pathways to Jobs Career Quiz. It was designed to do more than ask what subjects you like. It looks at your interests, strengths, and personal characteristics, then matches them with careers that are compatible with who you are.

The results may confirm the direction you're already heading, or introduce you to opportunities you never knew existed.

 

Then take the next step.

 

Explore the careers that interest you. Learn what people actually do each day. Find out what education is required, which schools offer the programs, and what financial assistance may be available.

 

The best career decisions are informed decisions.
