Choosing Your Career

The good thing about starting on this early is you can change your mind or look into many areas at once.

Find out about more than just the subject matter of the career you are interested in. Ask yourself these questions:

• How much social interaction will this type of position have? Would that meet my social needs?
• What kind of schedule can I expect to have if I pursued this type of career? Would I need to work evenings or weekends?
• Would this type of career work with my long-term personal goals?
• How much schooling will I have to go to in order to accomplish this goal?
• Where could I get this kind of schooling/training?
• What is a realistic salary expectation for entry level for this type of position?
• What would this type of position require of me emotionally?

This is an exciting time, the possibilities are endless. You get to decide what direction you want to go. Take time to dream and think now so you can achieve your goals later.
