Many students feel the urgency to decide TODAY what they will be doing for the rest of their lives. Creating a meaningful career plan is not quite that easy. Having a profession is a journey that unfolds as you gain experience, skills and education. Where you start today may not be where you end up twenty years from now. You may move the end point several times throughout your life, and chances are your road will not be a straight shot but a winding path of exploration and discovery. Approach the Career Planning process from where you are in your life now, and know that there are no wrong decisions. Where you decide to go next will then take you to the next stop, then that stop to the next, and so on. Every experience you have is important to the one before.
Having a plan is important. It will help you make informed decisions with an understanding of what you will need to do during each stage of your journey.
