Exploring Career Options.
Hellerman, Susan B., Ed.
Imagine...Opportunities and Resources for Academically Talented Youth, v1 n5 May-Jun 1994
This newsletter theme issue offers advice to academically talented youth on exploring career options. It begins with an article titled "How To Think about Your Career When You Haven't Even Decided Where To Go to College." The article notes the hazards of early career choice and recognizes the career indecision often brought on by multipotentiality. Names and addresses of 51 organizations that can provide career information are supplied. An article then describes projects of several students participating in the 1994 Westinghouse Science Talent Search. A book review of "The Young Scientists" by Joseph Berger accompanies the article. Another article, "Mentorships and Other Hands-On Strategies for Career Exploration," examines the importance of mentorship, how to find a mentor, and other learning strategies such as shadowing and internships. The educational option of correspondence courses is explored, and several universities offering them are listed. The regular College Review Series describes Brown University (Rhode Island), based on perceptions of nine students enrolled there. The "Creative Minds Imagine" page includes a puzzle and poem. (JDD)
