There are many outlets of information when researching a career: magazine and journal articles, online job advertisements, professional associations, and employer websites.
Library Databases
Use the library's database subscriptions to research your career selection.
For example: if you are interested in the outlook for graduates with an accounting degree--use EBSCO's Business Source Complete or the ProQuest Accounting & Tax databases. Try typing in a search such as accountants and demand. Talk to a librarian if you need help getting started.
The U.S. Department of Labor's OOH is published each year. This directory profiles many jobs for a variety of elements, including career outlook, salary range, and skills needed.
Search this database of occupations by skill-set, interests, work experience, and education. Includes information for Veterans to help chart how to use specialized military skills after service has ended.
Take a Skills Assessment at CareerOneStop, or use the Skills Profiler to create a list of your skills and match them to job types that use those skills.
