Exploring Career Options

Using the list of Careers generated by your interest survey OR using Titles of jobs that you are interested in explore at least 2 careers and find out what you would do if you worked in that career. Note if you use the list generated by your interest survey make sure you click on “More about…..” after you click on the career title. If you want to find a career from a list go to “WORK” and look for your career in the Alphabetical list of careers.
