Good Career Test to take...?

Question

I need a good career test. I am going to be a junior in high school this year, and i really want to try to pick out what I actually want to do with my life, and MAYBE figure where to go for college, as to try to make my senior year a little less stressful. I don't want to be one of those seniors who freak out because they have to A.) figure out what to do and where to go, and B.) have to set all that up with nine months that we're in school. No thank you. I would really like to save myself a freak-out. S'anyways, I was looking for a good, thorough career test to take. Even if you have a FEW in mind, they would still be really appreciated. And is there a website to match you up with a college...or should I just ask about that when I figure out what to do...?

Thanks a Bunch!

You may want to apply the KISS principle and focus on identifying a career that uniquely suits you at this stage.

A good career assessment will take into consideration your strengths, interests, and perhaps most importantly, your motivations. Once these are identified you will be able to narrow your career research significantly and make the whole process easier.

Free access to a very insightful career test and the resulting personalized motivational appraisal of personal potential (MAPP) is provided courtesy of JobForge.com. Simply visit http://jobforge.com and click on the career assessment link on the index page or visit http://tinyurl.com/career-test . This career tool will allow you to:

* Find your real motivations, interests, and talents for work

* Identify your ideal careers

* Discover your communication and leadership strengths

After you have identified one or more careers of interest you may find consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at http://www.bls.gov/OCO/ helpful. It will give you access to hundreds of different types of jobs—such as teacher, lawyer, 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

Once you have some idea of what it is you would like to do it will be a good time to start thinking about where to get the training, education, and/or experience you need.  General college matching sites are found easily enough by doing a quick internet search.  However, some  of the best scholastic direction you will get will come from researching the field you are interested in.  Find out where other top performers in your field of interest went and analyze the hiring practices of potential future employers to identify any preference for educational source.  Finally, prospective students and their families may also find consulting the current edition of "America's Best Colleges" published by U.S. News very helpful.

Good luck finding your path!
