Career Exploration
Finding a career and a job is not a quick process. Investigating various career options is one aspect to finding a job later. It is essential to start exploring your career options early in your academic experience. From your first semester onwards, spend some time every week on this exploration.
At the same time, you must spend some time assessing yourself. Choosing the exact route you follow after graduation is up to you - it is determined by your strengths and your interests.
