Researching Jobs & Careers, Bureau of Labor Statistics

To make a living, one must have an occupation and training/education that will potentially support a family. 

Updating skills and changing jobs--even careers--are parts of reality and the future.  

Research before choosing, and take career aptitude tests.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics's Occupational Outlook Handbook is priceless. Note viewers can click on an occupation to see the profile.  http://www.bls.gov/ooh/

Actually, the entire BLS site is useful. http://www.bls.gov/  Explore! Talk with your mentee.
