Exploring
your career options and academic majors
The
next step is to relate your self assessment to different majors or
career fields. Researching and exploring different fields is
important for learning how occupations are organized, grouped and
clustered by similar skills, abilities and interests. Other
topics to consider are: nature of the work activities,
educations/training, work environment, career ladder, outlook,
salary and benefits, personality characteristics, and advantages and
disadvantages. It is important to investigate the variety of
majors and the many careers to which they can lead.
