You've come to the right place if you're still unsure what you want to do for a career after high school.

There are thousands of jobs in Oregon and across the United States, but how do you know which one is the right one for you? An answer to this question has a lot to do with your personality. Are you social and outspoken? Or are you more comfortable working behind the scenes? Do you enjoy working with your hands? Or do you enjoy a combination of mental and physical work? Taking a personality quiz can help you to identify what are known as Holland Codes or the RIASEC test.

Holland Codes represent work personalities that fall into different job categories. For example, if you like working with people and are a social person, you may fall into the S or Social category, which has occupations such as teacher or social worker.

If you already know what you want to do for a career, but are unsure what it takes to have that career then you need to do some research.

First, you need to know what skills, training, and/or education you'll need to have the career of your dreams. You may even discover that your dream career may take longer to achieve or might not be exactly what you thought it was. For example, a young lady wanted to become a Veterinarian Assistant because she loved animals. When she discovered how much she would need to interact with the owners of the animals more than the animals themselves, she was not so sure that becoming a VA was the right choice for her. It all comes down to what kind of personality you have (see above). The young lady who wanted to become a VA discovered that her antisocial personality was not the best fit for interacting with pet owners on a daily basis.

There is an invaluable resource at your disposable to research what skills, training, and/or education you'll need to have the career of your dreams. Mynextmove.org is a website to discover the knowledge, skills, and abilities you'll need to do the job you want.
