Question
Plan Your Career

“I’m realizing my high school diploma isn’t enough. But if I go back to school, what should I study?”

Answer

Before you start thinking about  post-secondary education or training, it’s a good idea to think about what you want from life. Then you can match your learning to your interests.

Do you want to work with your hands? Do you want a straight 9 to 5 job? Do you like working outdoors? Do you want to help people, build things, grow things or change things?

To help you answer these questions and more, check out CAREERinsite quizzes and exercises. Once you know yourself, it’ll be easier to figure out where you want to go and what training or post-secondary education you will need.
