While the economy continues to rebound from the market crash of 2008, many students are wondering where their future lies in terms of a career path. Although some students may simply choose a profession based on the hiring rate and average starting salary, it may be beneficial to take a career test to see where one's true aspirations lie.

The Daily Home, which provides news for Talladega and St. Clair counties in Alabama, reports that educators at career training schools are cautioning that students should not just jump into a career.

"One of the things that I do when I talk to seniors is I say the most important thing you can do when you're trying to search for a career is to choose something that’s going to make you happy and you're going to enjoy doing and you'll be successful," Brett Pritchard, recruiter for Central Alabama Community College, told the news provider.


One way for a student to determine where their strengths lie is through a career test. These exams gauge an individual's professional strong suits based on their personalities, interests and hobbies.
