Resource for March!  Great site for teens!

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America developed a career preparation program to help teens make sound educational decisions, explore a variety of careers, and develop skills for success in the workplace. A system, CareerLaunch™, supports this program. This expanded career preparation Web site incorporates O*NET data, enabling teens to find O*NET career profiles related to their interests.

Book review
I Could Do Anything If I only Knew What It Was. Author Barbara Sher

This was a wonderful book with lots of insight to assist people who have had difficulty in choosing an occupation. There are many activities in the book to help people with specific reasons why they are struggling (influence from other people, loss of long time job, etc..)

I love a couple of her quotes which support her belief that people must take ACTION.
"Action will help you think".
"Action raises your self esteem".
"Good luck happens when you are in action"
And my other favorite is "Goals- they push you into action. And that's when happy accidents occur".

This book was a great read and I've just given it to one of my students who has been struggling with deciding on which direction to go in his life.
