What am I going to do with my life? Career Counseling

In an effort to get more of an idea of my ever-elusive purpose and direction, I just scheduled an appointment for next week with Career Counselor Irene Komor. This appointment will help me identify my strengths and areas of interest. I'm told not to expect a silver bullet; Irene can't look into a crystal ball and tell me my calling. Still, I think it'll help just to sit down with someone and talk through possible career paths. How often do you get to take a break from rushing around from classroom to library to meeting to stop and consider the goal of all your hard work? Even if you think you know exactly what you want to do, it might be helpful to reexamine and open your mind to other options.

Career Counseling appointments are an hour long. You can schedule over the phone by calling A&S Career Services at 607-255-4166 or in person at Goldwin Smith G55. You'll need to fill out a quick form about your interests and return it a day before your appointment. That'll help give Irene a chance get to know you a little bit beforehand.

Hope you all enjoyed fall break and are enjoying being back in lovely, freezing Ithaca.
