Choosing a career is based on a number of things, which includes
interests, skills, work-related values, and personality. You can
evaluate
your own interests, personality, skills, and values like a self
assessment, you should
begin to gather information
about careers which will include a
job description, outlook for
the field (will you be able to find a job), and required training and
education. When you have narrowed down your choices to just a few, then
you should investigate even further, perhaps conducting some informational interviews with those working in the field.
If finances are an issue, don't let that keep you from getting the help
you need. Check with your institutions with financial
aids local
colleges,
universities and career development offices which may offer services to
members of
the community, programs that train career counselors often have students
work with members of the community in order to gain experience. Doing
all this will make it easier to make an educated decision about what
career to pursue.
