Career Decision-Making Process
Making choices about your future is one of the most challenging tasks you will face in college and throughout your life. Most students spend more time planning their spring break vacation than they do planning their career choice! Like most things, the more time and effort you put into your career development the more likely you are to reach a satisfying decision. You are worth the time and effort that good decision-making requires!
Career decision-making is a continual process that you will revisit many times during your life. You may enter the process at whatever point is most relevant to you and may even find yourself exploring two stages at once, or revisiting a stage that you thought you had thoroughly investigated. Wherever you may find yourself, Career Services offers many services to assist you with this process!
