Choosing a Major or Career
Many individuals find the process of selecting a major or career stressful and overwhelming. With thousands of occupations from which to choose, how do you select just one?
Information is the key.

To complete this second step, you must gather adequate occupational information. Armed with sufficient information about the requirements of various careers, you will be able to determine which ones have the potential to make optimal use of your assets. You are now in a much better position to make an initial major/career selection.
