Are there any resources out there that will help me choose a major or a career based on my personality?

Question

There are just so many career options out there. I find myself a bit overwhelmed.

Answer 2

Well, if you want to know what you would like to do and also be good at I would suggest reading some books, seeing a career counselor at school if you're currently in college, doing research on the things you find interesting. A book that I'm currently reading is: What Color is Your Parachute? by Richard N. Bolles, because I'm also in a similar situation, along side many, many other students my age. lol. But a book that a friend of mines suggested to me is called: The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield, he was one of the authors of Chicken Soup for the Soul, and also a contributor to The Secret. There are also workbooks and other reading books available at the library or bookstore. So there's lots of resources out there, it just depends on what your looking for. It's like what I've been told before, "you just need to look."

Also find out what your interests are, and if you want a career that you would enjoy or anything else that YOU want in a career. But if you're currently in school, see if you can talk to a career counselor, I've taken the test to help me discover what I want to do, but honestly it gave me something that I wasn't interested in because they also go on what your values are, and environment and a lot of other factors.

Good luck to you. Hopefully it will work for you. I'm still on a quest to find what I truely want to do.
