Your career in your life is a means and not an end, it is important for you to have support, and if necessary, advice to continue and succeed. Be sure that you won't find the answers outside yourself, and the objective is not only to insert yourself into the work market and in the adult world, but also, if necessary, to transform it. That's why you shouldn't make your &#&vocational choice&#& with a "short term" criteria, but having a vision of time and longer objectives.

A &#&University's or a College's&#& career isn't a product you can buy in a supermarket. That means a &#&career search&#& is the search for intellectual development itself, it is an act of commitment and personal improvement and that's why you have to make your search in a responsible manner.

You may take all this process inviting yourself to become an explorer. Give you the permission to allow your natural curiosity to lead you along interesting pathways. Visit the places that previously you would not have even considered within the realms of possibility. Follow the bread crumbs; you may be surprised where they lead you. Only the authentic you under all those veneers that society, family and even you, protect yourself with, knows what is the best career for you.

Finally, you must decide and make your experience in the study itself, going through it, in a process of trial and error; it is a very intimate process necessary to consolidate the election you have made.

You may think that to be young in these times isn't that easy, let me tell you that it is as difficult as being an adult. And it is also wonderful, interesting, defying and worth living.

Several young people feel that the &#&vocational election&#& implies a personal crisis that affects them deeply. There are such a lot of uncertainties within this feeling, and the fact is that they are present in the adult world too. Perhaps at first it costs too much to reach the point of maturity needed to commit one self with this election, with this decision. The &#&career's choice&#& also implies a time for this, and, as in every aspect of life, it present unknown results, not imagined possibilities and of course a lot of satisfactions.

Perhaps it is overwhelming, but it is much better to choose among the abundance. There are plenty of institutions, &#&Colleges and Universities&#& to make your decision.

Trust yourself and happy journey.
