Like any major decision, selecting a career involves a lot of fact finding. Fortunately, some of the best informational resources are easily accessible.

	You should assess career guidance materials carefully.
	Information that seems out of date or glamorizes an occupation—overstates its earnings or exaggerates the demand for workers, for example—should be evaluated with skepticism.
	Gathering as much information as possible will help you make a more informed decision.
	One sources is people you know
	Another source is local libraries
	Yet another source is professional societies
	You can look to trade groups as well.
	Another group is tabor unions.
	Employer web sites will often offer information
	As will many postsecondary institutions
	And finally, guidance and career counselors.
