DO SOME RESEARCH about the profession you want to go into someday:
That way, when you do graduate from college, you will know the probability of getting a job in that field,
or if you will have to go on for further education.

I WAS INVOLVED WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL newspaper and never questioned that that's what I'd do.
I knew I liked to write, and that seemed the best way to do it and make money.
Granted, it's not a lot of money, but it's enough to live and let me do what I love.
That's probably the best way to choose if you're unsure. Find something you love,
that you don't consider work, and figure out how to get paid to do it.

- Take 10 minutes and read about a career field you've never thought about,
or that you've never had much interest in. Who knows - it might turn out to be more appealing than you initially thought.
At the very least, it will give you a more complete perspective on the choices you're making.
- Befriend the career counselors! If they know you and have a high opinion of your skills and character,
they're more likely to think of you when those really juicy job and internship listings come up.
