Career Discovery

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions college students make. Self-awareness is a key component to making a career decision. Students should try to learn as much as they can about themselves in order to make a good decision. Career Services is LSU’s primary resource for helping students navigate the career decision-making process.

Personality is one component of self-awareness. There is a strong correlation between personality type and job satisfaction. Determining your personality type will provide valuable information about careers that would likely be a good fit for you.

The following resources are highly recommended for success in planning your career:
Career Assessments
What Can I Do with This Degree
The Four-Year Career Plan
The LSU General Catalog

Internet resources: offer valuable information about different occupations
O*Net (U.S. Dept. of Labor)
Occupational Outlook Handbook
