Choose Your Career Field

Explore Your Options

Unsure of which major or career is a good fit for you? There are a lot of options out there, and you should feel confident in making an educated decision about your future.

Self-assessments are a great way to realistically appraise yourself and provide a starting point for career planning. While no test will determine what you should "be," there are tools to help you evaluate yourself and find the career that is best for you.

When making significant career or education decisions, it is important to recognize a few key characteristics about yourself. Being aware of these characteristics will help you choose a major, career, or advanced degree program that may result in a higher level of job satisfaction.
