Students typically have many questions about career options and what they will do after completing their degree(s). These questions include:
~ What type of work will I find enjoyable?
~ What can I do to maximize my odds of getting a good job?
~ How do I find employers who hire within my degree field?

There are three primary resources on campus to assist you with these and other career related questions:
