I don't know what career to go into!?

Question

I do not know what career to look into. I would like to find a website that could help me to explore options and to give explinations of what each career entails. Thanks for any advice!!

Answer 1

www.fastweb.com

It is a subsidiary of monster.com
It is FREE.
It includes a college and scholarship search, and descriptions of majors.

It might be helpful to do what I did. Copy the list of majors in a word processor. Go down the list and erase everything that you don't want. By the end you should you 5-10 things that would be good at/want to do. Keep this list, but choose off of it one of two fields that you feel you could really love.

I did this in choosing a major for college in my Junior year of high school. I had Political Science, Civil Engineering, Architecture, and a couple others and I settled with the one about which I knew I could feel passionate: Architecture.

Keep in mind that you don't need to know what you want to do to go to college. The average college student changes her/his major 2-3 times in her/his undergraduate career. An "Undecided" major can allow you a lot of flexibility and allow you to take classes in different areas and see what you like.

You can also double major, or get a major and minor(s), if you really love two or more fields. Best of luck.

Answer 2

There is no such thing... go to your guidance counselor at school or the local library, or possibly the local tech college. They have tests that you can take that find your strengths, weaknesses, what you like and don't like...
What do you like to do? What did you dream of being as a little girl? There are millions of careers... where do your interests lie? You need to answer these kind of questions first and foremost, then decide if you want to work and waste your life for money or for happiness, because sometimes your career path may not pay as well as you would like but you are good at it and love it.... there are a lot of things to think about here and no time like right now to start.... there is a site I believe it is career.com that will give you the average salary of a job in certain parts of the country and world , maybe someone will have that perfect site that will list each and every career opportunity and all the qualifications etc that are involved.... Good Luck!

Answer 3

You might need to do some interest inventories. They are checklists you do that help you sort out the kinds of things you are good at and what you are interested in.

If you have a guidance department at your school go there and ask to do an interest or aptitude test. Don't let the word "test" scare you - they aren't those kinds of tests.

The first link is one you can do on-line for free, but the ones a guidance counselor has access to will give you more information. Many of the on-line ones that you have to pay a little money for are pretty good too. But try some of the free ones to see what you think. Do a search for something like "career inventories" or "interest inventories" or "aptitude tests" and you will get lots of results.

I hope this helps.

Answer 4

What are your interests? What are you passionate about?
Start there and talk to a career consellor about possible job opportunities in those fields.
