Our Messages To The Students Careers are NOT accidents or miracles

The Problem There are way too many choices (over
4,000 careers/occupations to choose from). There are new jobs invented every year
There are a lot of misperceptions and misunderstandings pertaining to careers and the way one should go about pursuing them
