Answer 1

1. Career choice tests. There are a lot of tests out there designed to tell you what kind of career would be best for your personality and skill type. You can find some cheesy ones online that don't tell you much, or you can go to the career center/guidance center at your college and ask to take a career choice test; I'm sure they will have something for you. These tests are only to help you get ideas, and the results shouldn't be taken as your fate.
2. Job shadowing. It's a really great way to see what different careers are like, so you shouldn't underestimate it. It's easy to set up a day for job shadowing, especially if you know someone who works at the place where you want to shadow. Just call them up; most people are willing to help.
3. Internships. Similar to job shadowing, and gives you some experience in the field which helps if you decide to continue that career path.
4. Remember that you can always change careers later. Even though you have lots of interests, don't be afraid to pick just one or two and go for them. Even in you graduate with a major, then decide it's not for you, there's no rule that says you have to go into that career. You can go back to school for something else if that's what you want to do. Most people change their careers at least once in their lives.

You can start in a lower-lever job in a career path and, with more education and experience, move up within that path.
The first step in the Career Roadmap is to Know Yourself. Whether you are a first year student interested in learning how majors relate to careers, a senior contemplating graduate school or an alumnus considering a career change, it is crucial that you first identify your INTERESTS, VALUES, SKILLS and PERSONALITY PREFERENCES in order to make a well–informed decision.

A career path helps you find out how you might move from one job to another within a career cluster.

2. Values are the things that motivate us and move us toward certain decisions, behaviors and goals. Values greatly influence the career decision making process, job satisfaction and, ultimately, life satisfaction.

3. Skills are the things that you are good at and have the ability to do well. Assessing your skills allows you to determine which ones you want to acquire or further develop, the specific ways to accomplish those goals, and how your skills match with potential careers.

4. Personality Preferences & Interpersonal Needs are related to your individual, innate nature and tend to be consistent over time. Understanding personality and interpersonal needs allows you to see correlations between the way you make decisions and your work style.

You can also attend relevant workshops such as Connect Your Values to Career Satisfaction, Identify Your Skills and Accomplishments, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and DePaul Interest Finder (DIF).
