I sort of always knew that I wanted to work with people but the FOCUS 2 results that I received basically told that I should go into a career that allows me to work with others. Most of the careers that were listed involve me working with people and helping people.

My career goals for the next semester are to figure out what is it that I want to do in life, figure out what it is that I am passionate about, and whether or not I want to be a physical therapist. These resources will help me achieve my goals by figuring out if being a physical therapist is the right career choice for me, it will help me figure out if I am willing to go to school for another three years after I have received my bachelor’s degree,
