Before a career starts, we believe people’s options shouldn’t be limited. Providing choices that only focus on specific educational paths creates limitations. With people making choices and ranking preferences about their interests, skills and fields and being provided with 10 career choices, we fully expect that in most situations there will be some career choices that align with their chosen educational path. In the rare exceptions when Career Choices and educational paths don’t align, it is most valuable for people to get this information sooner so they can begin to make informed choices.

Look at all of the 10 choices. The difference in ranking between the choices may be minimal. In addition to the career description provided, examine each choice further by going to onetonline.org. Even if you don’t pursue a career choice, the added information can easily gain you valuable insight about your career preferences.
