>Are you wondering what the best career path is for you?  Do you want 
>to explore different fields of interest, but are unsure where to 
>start?  Do you want to return to MIT in the fall with greater 
>clarity about your direction?  The MIT Careers Office is offering a 
>2-part workshop for undergraduates to help you identify career areas 
>of interest and create a plan to explore options over the summer. 
>
>Part I (May 5) will include exercises that help you identify those 
>aspects of yourself most likely to help you make good career 
>decisions.  For homework following this session you will be asked to 
>take the Strong Interest Inventory, which takes about 20-30 minutes, 
>online. 
>
>In Part II (May 7) we will go over the results from the Strong as a 
>group.  The Strong is an assessment tool that will help you identify 
>prominent areas of vocational interest; it also suggests specific 
>occupations - as well as college activities - that might be of 
>interest to you.  We will then talk about how to use all of this 
>information and how to explore some career options over the summer. 
>
>Please note there is a cost associated with taking this workshop: 
>$15, payable at the first session.
