Career Research |
|
What career plans do you have? This is a very important question considering that if you work an 8-hour day every week from the age of 22 to 62, you will spend 400,000 hours at work. Consider how long those hours will be if you are miserable because you don't like what you are doing. That is just one reason why it is very important to make sure you carefully choose a career. This project will help you gain some perspectives on planning for your future. It is important to recognize what path you are on today as well as where you want to be in a given number of years. In completing the project activities, you will find valuable information that will help you make informed decisions about your future. |
