    Choosing a Career

    • Rule#1: Choose a career that is something
    • you really like to do.
    • Rule#2: Do your research and choose carefully and thoughtfully.
    • Rule#3: Make it meaningful to you.
    • One of the hardest—and most exciting—choices you’ll ever make is your career. Although chance may play a part, come prepared!
    • You owe it to yourself to look for work that is meaningful and rewarding!

    Choose Career Options That Match Your Values

    • Knowing what you value most will help you refine your career search and choice:
      • Helping others
      • Prestige
      • High income
      • Flexible work hours
    • Establish and align values, career choice, and career goals for motivation.
    • There is no substitute for "knowing yourself."

    • You will always have some control over your career.
    • You must accept risks and plan for the future to advance your career.

    • The more you know,
    • the greater your marketability.

    • explore a number of careers and majors
    • get involved
    • Get advice from people in your target occupation
    • follow your passion
    • Dare to try something new
    • Don’t:
    • focus on a major just to get a career out of it
    • select a major just because it is “cool” or seems to promise prestige
    • let someone else push you into a job
    • Assume that you have it all figured out
