Hopefully Lesson #17 & #18 have given you some ideas as to careers that may interest you ---- or perhaps you already had some idea of what you want to do when you "grow up". Regardless of how certain you are or aren't about your future career, this lesson will provide you with some resources to help you navigate the world of post-secondary education.
If you have already decided on a career area, obviously you will research this area. If you haven't, pick a program that you are interested in finding more about.
