There are other ways to explore on your own, too! Please visit the Find Your Path website to self-explore, or learn more about our Career Center, where you can meet with a Career Counselor to help refine your search.
Then: MEET WITH A COUNSELOR
Meeting with a counselor can be helpful as you decide on a career and identify the area of study you need to work in that field. You can make a counseling appointment here.
