Planning for College and Career?

How to decide what is the best career for you!

• Ask yourself these questions.
• What do I like to do for fun?
• What do I like to read about?
• Who is the one person that I admire the most?
• What class inspires me the most?
• What are my strengths and weaknesses?
• Where do I want to live?
• What was the one career that I talked about as a
  child?

10
Dont be afraid to think outside of the
!

• 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
  career is best for you?
