PLANNING YOUR CAREER
One of the first steps you can take to plan your future is to do some basic research
into the occupation and options you are considering. It is often easy
and tempting to make assumptions about a career field, based on testimonials
from one or two people you have met in the field, what you see in the media,
or what you hear from peers and family members. But by gathering concrete information
from objective sources, you can make better decisions about your future.
