Exploring Careers

• If you already know what you want to do in life, great. If you’re not sure, think about jobs you might be interested in. Talk with people in those jobs to get an idea of what’s involved. Once you’ve come up with a list of possible careers, ask yourself:How do I prepare for a career in those fields?

• If I need to go to college or technical school, what should I do now to get ready?

• When I finish, what jobs will I be qualified to do?

• Who can help me reach my goal?

• What resources do I have that can help me prepare for my career?

Base your choices on who you are today. If your interests change, you can always change your pathway.
