Choose Your Ideal School by Figuring Out Your Ideal Career

Sure, you’re looking for the ideal school. After all, you’re going to spend at least a year or two (or three or four) there, so you want to make a good choice.

A big part of that choice is figuring out what you’re going to do after you’ve finished school. In fact, knowing where you want to go in your career is one of the most important steps to picking the right post secondary program.

After all, if you’ve always want to be a globe-trotting entrepreneur but you spent four years studying French poetry, you’re going to have a hard time pursuing your dreams. So the perfect school for you is the one that enables you to live your best life – even after school is over.
So if you’ve always wanted toa career that will enable you to travel, you’re in luck – choose a school with an International Business program. But if you’re not sure what you want to do, then follow these tips:
- Take a career test, like Humber’s College’s Career Finder, to help narrow down your interests. These will help determine your possible career choices based on your strengths. Humber’s tool even lists the specific programs that can help you achieve those dreams.

- Talk to people who are employed in your field of interest. You may discover that there are parts of your dream job that really aren’t so dreamy – or you might find that you’re on exactly the right path.

- Arrange an opportunity to job shadow, or do an internship. This kind of job experience is invaluable to helping you narrow down your options.

With over 150 full-time programs, Humber offers you the opportunity to choose your ideal school and your ideal career. For more information, take a look at Humber College’s website.
