Career Planning
Career selection is a continuous process. Engaging in a study of careers takes time. It is important, however, to begin the process early on in high school. Discuss your interests and questions with your school counselor to gain insight and information.
How to decide on a career
- Use the Principles from your character-based assessment on Scoir to gain a better understanding of how jobs truly match your tendencies, and more.
- Use the career links below to take additional interest inventories, research careers, learn about possible majors, etc.
- Converse with people employed in various careers and jobs and see about shadowing.
- Examine your values in respect to family, friends, society, money, responsibility, and education.
- Ask yourself how you can best make positive contributions to society.
- Don’t confuse what you do with who you are. What you choose to do is your decision. You will be successful as long as you live with self-respect and integrity.
- Be sure to prepare a resume (this is required as a part of your Summer Assignment before senior year)!
