Answer 1

CAREER:
1.an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress..A career is an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways.
     The word career is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a person's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)". In this definition career is understood to relate to a range of aspects of an individual's life, learning and work. Career is also frequently understood to relate to the working aspects of an individual's life e.g. as in career woman. A third way in which the term career is used to describe an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education,[1] and is considered to be a person’s lifework.[2] In this case "a career" is seen as a sequence of related jobs usually pursued within a single industry or sector e.g. "a career in education" or "a career in the building trade".


I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate from high school. What do I do?
What industries are hiring right now?
What jobs pay the most/have the best benefits?
Should I include references on my resume?
What can I do to ensure I have a great job interview?
Start with a checklist. Create a list of all the things you enjoy doing and your skill sets. Your interests and skills DO NOT have to be career related! Once you have created a list, follow the steps recommended by The Work Room's PACE program.  Check it out at www.setyourownpace.org. 
ALL OF THEM! We are entering a very unique era where the current workforce is aging and there are many opportunities in all industry sectors. Don't chase the hot job trends as opportunities rise and fall with changes in the local and global economies. Seek out job opportunities that match your skills, interests, goals and lifestyle. You can see what industries are hiring by searching the job banks, but this is a very small view of all the opportunities that exist in the workforce. A better question would be to ask, "Which industries or careers fields would I like to work in"? Concentrate your efforts on places you would like to work.
