College and Career Planning

Welcome Class of 2008: this site will be up for a while, so you can bookmark any of these sites to assist you in your college and career planning.

Instructions for Tuesday, February 13 and Tuesday, February 20, 2007:

1. Access Career Cruising. Answer the questions, chase down a career, and find out where you to get the training/education you need to pursue your chosen career, and find out more about the institution that is offering the training/education. I'm more interested in PROCESS, not PRODUCT here, so in other words, which career you choose is less important than knowing how to use this resource.

2. Access eight websites --> explore at least three links. On your assignment sheet, write the name of the website in the center cluster, the three links you chased down (feel free to explore further), and a brief description of what you found at this site today. Will you use this website again?

Write a little bit every day, and figure yourself out. What do you want? What do you love? What do you hate? What do you hope for yourself? Where do you belong? Who are your people? What do you know for sure? What do you want to find out?
