Which field(s) of study and/or area(s) of work most closely reflect(s) what you have learned about yourself – your values, skills, and interests? Can you explain why?
What are your “must haves” versus your “nice-to-haves” in a job, occupation, or community activity? What criteria [e.g., salary, job satisfaction, type of work, career path, alignment with corporate values, location, safety, healthy work environment, security] should be considered when you are exploring future education and career options? How were you able to differentiate between your “needs” and your “wants” in a job or occupation? What tools would you use to rank the criteria? Which of the options that you’ve explored comes closest to meeting your highest-ranked preferences?
* Students may need to prepare for more than one initial postsecondary option for a variety of reasons. They may also want to consider goals beyond their primary academic or career-related goal.
