Career
Information
For many college students, answering the ever present question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" can be difficult and stressful.
Fear not! College
is about more than preparing you for one specific career —
it’s about becoming a lifelong learner. And with constant
changes in technology and the world of work it’s very
possible the career you’ll end up in hasn’t even
been invented yet. Enjoy your freedom and the almost unlimited
possibilities before you.
Here
are some suggested sources of career information:
Want information about salaries that graduates in different majors earn right out of college? Purdue’s Center for Career Opportunities (CCO) contacts graduates to find out, and the most recent survey results are available.
Need more guidance in this process? The University of
Waterloo Career Services office has developed their Career
Development e-Manual to help you through a step-by-step
process. Click
here to access the Career Development e-Manual.
Useful career resources abound on the web! Here are a sampling we've found particularly helpful for students investigating occupational requirements, internship experiences, and salary information.
