Exploring all of the options
There are lots of quizzes and surveys available online that can help
you learn more about your future career. Most of these surveys ask a
series of questions and then provide a report that tells you which of
the following six categories best match your answers: realistic, social,
investigative, enterprising, artistic, or conventional. From this point
you can explore the careers that fit into these broad categories and
the jobs that are included in the career fields.
