Need help with career exploration?

Will you be a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer or something you’ve never even heard of? Whether you’re in middle school or high school, you don’t have all the answers. The “real world” seems light years away – you don’t even know what your favorite color will be by then.

Yet favorite colors aside, it’s good to start exploring your interests sooner than later. The earlier you think about what you want to be, the earlier you can begin preparing for that career— which may mean taking certain classes in high school or trying new after-school activities in middle school.

Need help? Follow the steps below to start choosing a career path.

 

1. Find your personality type.

What’s your personality type? Knowing your personality type can help you identify interests and values you may not even realize you have. You can even check out celebs with your personality type.

2. Explore your interests.

Explore every single one of interests and think about how school activities may develop into a career.

3. Talk to career professionals.

Talk to your family and professionals about careers. Better yet get a mentor in a career field that might interest you.

4. Start exploring careers.

Still feeling lost? Check out some careers that match your personality type.
