Career Center

So last week on Thursday I attended a meeting at the Career Center, and it was sponsored by Project Hope. It was a special meeting intended for their Career and Life Transitions program. Even though I'm 24 and the program is supposed to be for 25+, they said it was fine. My career counselor Cami Vignoe was there, and we  set up an appointment, for today actually, to discuss my career aspirations. I am enrolled in a career planning class, PD 191, and it requires me to take an assessment. I took the Myer Briggs test and Strong Interest Inventory, and will go over the results today with Cami. The assessments, career center and class all help me to better understand myself, which career direction is right for me, and begin to move along that path. I've been me my whole life (lol), but still, sometimes its hard to be honest with yourself about what you really want to do without a little probing. I definitely recommend these tools for students in my position who have an idea of what they want to do but need it more concrete, or even students who have no idea at all. It's like the quote from the other day: "A year from now you will wish you had started today." (Karen Lamb).
