So...you just finished your Career Cruising profile, and after years of slaving away in school, doing your homework, going to study hall, meticulously organizing your binder all in the hopes of getting into college and becoming a doctor, veterinarian, CEO, scientist, it was revealed that your first choice should be....hairdresser.
Is it all for nothing?
Finding out what you want to do with your future can be a daunting task. Getting a deadline for when your 20-page research paper on your chosen profession is due (and by the way, it's in two weeks), doesn't help.
Any site or program that has you take a test and then recommends a career for you will be fraught with oddities...mine said my number one choice should be correctional officer! (Librarian...correctional officer...hmm)
So students, some thoughts for you to discuss:
How do you learn to do what you love? And what do you love? (And does writing with a sharpie on your converse have potential for earning money)
What do you love and can your colleagues come up with possible career matches? And what are the real resources out there?
