- Consider your skills, interests and knowledge, what you like to do, your hobbies and your hang-ups when trying to decide which career course to pursue. If you have a flair for food, consider catering, not ethno botany.
- Look into your different career possibilities. Search the Internet for career oriented sites. There are certain sites, which provide valuable information on various career options and requirements to pursue those.
- Select several occupations for further inspection. Make certain to choose fields where you will be able to apply your skills and interests.
- Work out in your mind what your career goal is and compare that ideal to the careers you have chosen. Career goals can be anything from the obvious - money - to the obscure - finding a job that will let you spend your days outdoors. Decide what works best for you.
- Narrow down your choices based upon the best fit between the occupation, your skills and interests and what you feel you want to do.
- Talk with real people working in the field you think you want to conquer. Often, real-world views of occupations can be quite different from the descriptions offered on paper.
- Make your decision and start working towards your goal.
