Follow the links to explore career possibilities in science and math. Think about your interests, learn about the accomplishments of others who have chosen a career in science, and journey through some related web sites .
Whatever you set your mind on, there is much you can accomplish.
To prepare yourself, you must take the time to find out the skills
you will need to succeed at your goals. Take as many courses as you
can that will teach you the skills you need, and take every
opportunity to practice those skills. Participating in summer jobs,
tutoring others, or taking advanced classes are only a few of the
ways to gain more experience and practice in the skills you are
trying to develop.
Look for opportunities to explore possible career choices during high
school and college through summer internship programs, summer jobs,
career days, or volunteer work. Participation in extracurricular
activities, such as after-school clubs, summer camps, interviews with
experts in your fields of interest, and lectures, will enhance your
learning and provide you with unique experiences.
Seek career information from your school counselors, teachers,
parents, family friends, and role models. In addition, you may wish
to contact a local career center, vocational-technical center, or
community college. The more information you can collect on the types
of work you would like to do, the better you can prepare yourself
during high school and college with the subjects you need to learn
for your future.
