Learn about Occupations
There are many excellent sources on the Internet! Our
five favorites are listed below.
Note: As outstanding as these websites are, do not rely solely on them for information. They are open to error. They did not forecast the current economic situation, for example. The methods described at Learning
about the Jobs that Interest Me are highly recommended. They can give you valuable information you can get no other way.
- The Occupational
Outlook Handbook gives accurate,
up-to-date, and comprehensive information
on occupations. It describes approximately
250 jobs, covering 90% of all workers --
earnings, training and education needed,
working conditions, skills required, advancement
opportunities, projected growth, related
jobs, and sources of additional information.
- America's
Career InfoNet provides extensive information
for the nation and specific states. For example
you can learn about wages, job market trends, and
the skills needed for specific occupations.
- Career Videos. See "real people doing real work." You choose from nearly 550 occupations.
- If
you want a technical analysis of how the population,
labor force, and the demand for goods and services
is likely to affect career opportunities, then you
will want to read Tomorrow's
Jobs.
- If you're interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations, explore the careers section of Science Buddies. In addition to job outlook and other occupation information, you'll be able to read interviews with people working in that career and for some, watch career videos.
