An excellent place to start exploring your interests and goals is with a career interest and skills inventory. That can help you decide what courses you could take in high school and may help you identify education and career goals.  It is okay if your interests, goals, and needs change over time. Extracurricular activities, sports, clubs, and even a class, job shadow, or volunteer experience can help us decide our interests and skills.

Students should ask themselves: Who do I want to be? What am I good at? What do I love to do? Whether it's playing sports or an instrument, your interests today say a lot about what career you might be interested in the future.
