Find the Right Career So You Don't Become Ill!!!!! by Rhyan Eberhardt

When you look into the future, where do you see yourself? A doctor? A waitress? A receptionist? We will all need to decide our careers at some point in our lives. To some, the thought of doing one thing for their entire life is frightening. (That's me). For others, they seem to have everything planned for the next 10 years.
I have put together a few ideas for us to keep in mind as we attempt to narrow down our career choices.

• We need to learn about ourselves. What are our values, our skills, our interests, our personalty traits. We can learn about ourselves by taking a career test, which will list occupations which may be suitable for us.

• Another option we have is to visit a career development professional, who will help us evaluate our interests, skills, values and personality. Then he or she will show us how all these things play into choosing the right career. We can find a career development services at a local library, college or university.

• We will end up with a list of potential career choices. Obviously, we will not be able to pursue ALL of those career options. Now, we need to do some research. We should gather all the job information that we can, such as a job description, the demand for people in that field of work, required job training and education. We can even do more research by conducting interviews with people who are already working in that field.

• Now, we should be ready to make an educated decision about what career we should choose.
