Mile Marker 3: Exploring Careers

Some of you may know exactly where you want to be after graduation, but do not know how to get there.  In this case, exploring your destination, or your career field, is in order. 

Studies show that students who have gathered information by way of researching the in's and out's of a career through talking to professionals, participating in internships, and sorting through printed and on-line resources are said to have greater "career maturity."  Subsequently these students are more focused on successfully finding and beginning a career shortly after graduation. 

Once you've learned about your destination, you can find majors that will give you the skills necessary to enter that particular career.  Visit the "What Can I Do With a Major In..." page to find out what skills are needed for particular jobs and what majors will prepare you with these skills.
