Dont be afraid to think outside the box!

• Connect what you are good at and passionate about
  to the jobs that are out there, not the other way
  around!
• Example You like the idea of working in the
  health field with children? Nursing is a great
  way to do it, but so is respiratory therapy,
  speech language pathology, physical therapist
  assistant, and the list goes on and on. Which way
  is best for you?
