Eskie's idea is superb. Yes, every university has a career planning office and they should also have it staffed by a career counselor. I went to an office like this when I was a graduate school. But truth be told they weren't really that helpful.


A gentle suggestion is...to ask yourself what you are passionate about. That can sometimes steer you in a certain direction. You have to be prepared to answer some questions the career counselor will ask you...and that may be one of them. Do you like working with people, or alone? Do you like learning new things, or are you happier in your own little niche?

You can sit down and start jotting things down on paper. Allow yourself to dream a little.

But Eskie's suggestion was great.
