Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), 2008-09 Edition



For hundreds of different types of jobs—such as teacher, lawyer, engineer, doctor, chef, mechanic, construction manager, realtor and nurse—the Occupational Outlook Handbook tells you:

the training and education needed

earnings

expected job prospects

what workers do on the job

working conditions

In addition, the Handbook gives you job search tips, links to information about the job market in each State, and more.

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a nationally recognized source of career information, designed to provide valuable assistance to individuals making decisions about their future work lives. The Handbook is revised every two years.

after you have read and gained some insight into what interest you, call some local professionals (in the career that interest you) and ask them to spend a lunch with you to talk about their careers. you will find that most people are more then happy to spend a half-hour or so with you to discuss what they do, why they do it and how thy enjoy their work.

Answer 3

If your counsellors aren't as helpful as you'd like, you can benefit from calling your local realtor or pediatrician and request an "information interview" to get a first hand idea of the rewards and pitfalls of each respective profession from those whom experience this daily!  Also surf the net for or call your local or nearest college/university that can guide you to a site with the information you are seeking.  Another great idea is to offer volunteer work with children to see how you relate to them and they to you and just get a "feel" for an environment related to your chosen profession.  Great luck for your future and hang in there, it will all fall into place the way it is supposed to!  You'll do great if you really feel a passion for what you're doing!
