Career Planning

What Do I Want as a Career?

What skills do you possess? Are you good with your hands, good at problem solving, a motivator of people? Are you attentive to detail, fast with numbers, quick to catch on? What are your strong points? It is important to connect the things you know about yourself to the career areas you are considering.  Online Interest inventories and the career websites can suggest careers that match your interests and your personality type.   Do your plans for education after high school match your career hopes?  Programs of Study and your 4 Year Plan can help you prepare you for future careers.   You will need the help of your parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and friends, but it is YOUR future.
