Write Your Own Career Research Report
For those researching particular careers, occupations or college majors, keeping track of the information is important as it is practical. One such way to organize all the collected information is to put together your own career-focused research report.

- Related careers and occupations
- Necessary or recommended preparation
- Earnings
- Job outlook
- Professional associations
- Additional pertinent information
Also, consider adding your thoughts and reflections based on the research with the following questions:
- What pieces of information surprise you? How so?
- What pieces of information excite you?
- What pieces of information point to any concerns you might have?
- Does your research make you more or less interested in the career or major? If yes, how so? If no, why not?
