CAREER PLANNING
How do I know what I want to major in? How do I know what I want to do with the rest of my life? These are just a few of the thoughts that might be going though your head as you enter Lasell College. As an incoming Freshman being uncertain about your major or career direction is normal. Most college students have difficulty with career questions because they either don’t know enough about their options and/or they don’t know what they want from a job.
The first step to clarifying your career objective is to think about who you are, and what you want from work.
- What do you like to do?
- What are you good at?
- What type of people do you enjoy being around?
- What is important to you in a career and your private life?
- What are your income goals?
While these may seem like basic questions, you will find that it takes some time and thoughtfulness to fully answer them. You are looking for what is in your heart, not what you assumed you would do, not what your family/friends think you should do, but what you truly want for yourself. This is not easy, but those who take the time to do this process, are often more focused, certain about their choices and more successful in their jobs.
Once you have become a member of the Lasell community the Office of Career Services counselors are available to assist you in your exploration through career testing and one to one appointments
