In Conclusion...

This guide is just a starting place. While it includes a lot of resources, there are many more available to you - many more than we could ever mention. When trying to determine your career path, use every resource you possibly can.

Talk to people in the field you are considering, as well as those in related fields, or even in fields you haven't considered yet.
Browse the Internet for information, remembering to evaluate any information you come across to determine its reliability.
Try to work in or volunteer in the field, to see if it is a good "fit" for you.
Utilize other libraries to find resources, such as your local public libraries and your state library.
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!

Good luck, and happy "job" hunting!
