Which of the following applies to you?

1. Traditional High School Student:    I am a high school student and I need to pick a post-secondary education path.
2. Adult Guide:    I am a guidance counselor or parent investigating on behalf of a high school student.
3. Current Post-secondary Student:    I am not happy with my current study path or I am uncertain about career options associated with my field of study.
4. Non-traditional Student:    I am an adult seeking to improve my career options. I may also be a parent seeking to better support my family.

Traditional High School Student:
Congratulations for taking the initiative to explore your options!
By taking responsibility for investigating your own career possibilities, you'll be able to better identify what information is meaningful to you.
As you explore your options, keep in mind that a person will often have more than one career during a lifetime. Look for at the related specialties for future possibilities.

Adult Guide:
As you use this tool, please try to answer the questions from your student's perspective. Be careful to avoid injecting your own biases.
Even better, encourage your student to use this tool directly. You can compare results later.

Current Post-secondary Student:
You're not alone as many post-secondary students are also searching. We encourage you to think of your choice as the first of many careers, not the last.
CareerLinks was designed to share the experience of others who took indirect paths and to suggest related career areas. We encourage you to look for and explore those links.

Non-traditional Student:
Good for you! It's never too late to make positive changes. Your life experience gives you a unique perspective that matters. We encourage you to draw from your full experiences as you use CareerLinks.
If you have children, life can be rewarding and it can also get complicated. There is no single solution but it is helpful to learn about other parent's experience. We encourage you to view the videos and read the personal stories of others who may have been in situations similar to yours.
