matter if you like both of them a lot or dislike both of them a
lot; just pick the one you would rather do, and circle that letter.

Once potential careers are established,
students should back up to the majors that
feed to these careers and research
colleges that are respected in those fields.

"What I am wired to do?" While there's not
one simple answer to this question,

serve as a guide for students to identify
their skills and interests.
