Careers

As the world changes, so do our career choices. New careers in technology, health care, and business really exploded in the last few years. Your career will span approximately 10,000 days, and you will probably earn between one and three million dollars over that period. In today's world, it is highly likely that your career will move through several, quite distinct, phases. To make the necessary adaptations, you need to know your skills and interests, and how to relate them to the constantly changing array of career alternatives. On-line assessments in no way replaces one-on-one counseling provided by the Student Services. Donna Romero is the Valencia Campus expert on career choice.Donna is a wonderful resource.
