Career Information Sources: Follow Your Passion!

Career Information Sources: Follow Your Passion!

Just as I believe that there are many colleges which could be "right" for you, I also believe that there are many careers which could suit your interests, abilities, and skills. Be willing to take a risk by looking at sites which are completely new to you. I really start to worry when students cannot tell me what they are "passionate" about. Follow your passion! Listen to your "internal job description". And, if you are a parent reading this, take a good guess at some of your child's interests. You will be surprised to see what possibilities are out there! Who knows, you may find your own next career.
