From Dawn Rosenberg McKay, your Guide to Career Planning
Before I make a purchase, I look for reviews. I do the same when I plan a vacation, go out to eat or see a movie. I don't think I'm alone in that. That's why I'm baffled by the fact that so many people choose careers without first learning about them.

How to Explore Your Career Options
If you consider the amount of time you spend watching a movie versus the number of hours you spend working, you would think people would make more of an effort to learn about the careers they are planning to enter. How do you know you're making the right choice? Find out how to get the facts on any career. Thorough exploration can help you avoid surprises later on.
