All of us at the Counselling Service wish you well in your exams and we hope that you have a wonderful holiday season. In addition to thinking about your final exams you may also be thinking about your career goals.
Many university students re-evaluate their career goals toward the end of first term.
Some feel compelled to re-evaluate their career goals not because they no longer like their career objective but rather because they have not achieved sufficiently high grades to move into sought after programs. Others re-evaluate career goals because they have learned new, undesirable information about a career and are no longer confident of their choice. There are also a large group of university students who are still trying to determine what their career goal is. Finally, there is a group of university students who remain on track for their career goal. Many university students face the prospect of having to discover a new career goal because they have not obtained the grades necessary to enter the program they desired.
