If you’re not sure what career path you’re headed on, here are some resources to help you:
- The Strong Interest Inventory — This online questionnaire can help you figure out not only which careers you’d be good at, but also which careers you’d be happy doing.
- The Occupational Outlook Handbook — This website is run by the U.S. Government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it allows you to look up information about various jobs. For instance, if you’re thinking about being a high school English teacher or an editor, you can search those job titles, and find out information such as what education you’ll need for that job, how much money you can expect to make, what the job itself is like on a day-to-day basis, and what the job’s future outlook will be.
- 16 Personalities website — This website has a free version of the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality test, which will let you know which of the sixteen MBTI personalities you have. Once you take the test, the website will list careers that will bring you fulfillment in life.
- Learnhowtobecome.org — This site helps you learn how to find a career that focuses on your passions and interests.
