Career Search is a way to find out about jobs and careers. If you already know what you want to do, go ahead and browse the list of Career Categories. Select a career to learn what to expect from a job and what to do in school so that you can work toward the job you want. You'll find out about training and qualifications, what earnings to expect, and what the future holds for each occupation.

Not sure what you want to do? Complete the Questionnaire in College Board Online to learn about jobs that match your likes and dislikes.

For more than 50 years, the Bureau's Occupational Outlook Handbook has been a nationally recognized source of career information. Revised every two years, the Handbook describes what workers do on the job, working conditions, the training and education needed, earnings, and expected job prospects in a wide range of occupations. Employment in the approximately 250 occupations covered in the 1998-99 Handbook accounts for about 6 out of every 7 jobs in the economy. The occupational information presented in this new edition should provide valuable assistance to individuals making decisions about their future work lives.
