CAREER INFORMATION

Finding a major in college is a struggle for many students (click here to read about this dilemma from an MSNBC reporter). The following information can assist students in their search for a major and satisfying career.

If I were to start a career search the first place I would go is to the Utah Mentor career exploration site. This site provides several guidance tools to help you find and identify your personal interests and specific careers that match these interests.
