Choosing a Career or Major

The Career Development Process begins with you. Everyone starts their process from different places. For many of you, you may be wondering where exactly am I? And if I don't know where I am, how do I proceed? Or, I know where I want to go, but how do I get there? The process is NOT linear and you may find yourself cycling through the Career Development Process while in college and throughout your entire life. Let us help you successfully navigate the process.
