Know Yourself

Know Yourself: someone determining a major or career path

A good career decision can only be made when you become aware of your personal style, identify your interest and skill areas, and acknowledge your work values. Without these pieces of the puzzle, a career decision is not grounded or based on criteria which matters to you.

This typically takes place in your freshman or sophomore year, however many graduating seniors need some assistance in this area.

Some helpful resources might be:

• Career Development
  The process of choosing a career path
  
  
• Career Planning and Decision Making Course (ARSC 050)
  
  
• Where in the World are MU Grads
  Where MU students get jobs, by major
  
  
• "What can I do with a major in...?"
