It's hard to know what you want in a vacuum. Talking with other people such as SJSU alumni, faculty, career counselors, friends and neighbors can be useful for gathering information, checking out your assumptions, and making new contacts that can lead to fascinating career opportunities. Find out more information. There is no reason you should know much about what is available because you have had limited experience up to this point. One way to get started is reading about different kinds of careers and watching career videos in the Compaq Career Resources Lab, Building F. People can also be excellent sources of information.
Informational interviews are a non-threatening way of learning about career fields.
A person doing the type of work in which you are interested can tell you about a typical day on the job, responsibilities and qualifications. Check out the Alumni Connections in the Career Resources Lab. Do some personal writing. Sometimes talking with people and researching careers isn't enough to get clear on a decision. This is where personal writing comes in.
