The "big daddy" of career exploration tools is the Occupational Outlook Handbook,
published biennailly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Look up the job you're interested
in. This book will tell you:

• what the outlook for employment is in the job now and in 10 years.
• what the starting salary might be.
• what people in that job actually do all day.
  

There are a couple of copies always available in the Library.

Occupational Outook Handbook
REF HD 8051 .A62

Another good resource is the 13 volume Career Information Center. Use the index in Vol. 13 to look up your specific career choice or a group of jobs. Agriculture jobs are all in the same volume, same for health, etc.

REF HF 8382.5 .U5 C32

We also have a series of "Opportunities In" books. There are about 200 different careers profiled in these books, and unlike the Occupational Outlook Handbook and the Career Information Center, you can check these out and take them home with you (with a valid, barcoded student ID). These have all the information that's in the Occupational Outlook Handbook.Check LOIS and OhioLINK for many other books that will help you explore careers. Use the subject Vocational Guidance, or the job area and subheading Vocational Guidance, for example, Accounting - Vocational Guidance, or Nursing - Vocational Guidance.
