Career-Focused Education Website Unveils a New Tool: the Career Matcher

• 

Business, management, and finance careers ... and degrees.

Choosing the right degree can be critical to a successful career

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) November 29, 2010

For everyone who’s not sure how their interests and strengths might line up to an appropriate job, the Career Matcher answers that question. By translating user interests and passions into a practical career, it shows people how to get paid for doing what they love. Users begin by entering their best interest, skill or hobby, e.g. “detail-oriented” or “creative.” Then they select a career field like “computer/information technology.” The result is a list of occupations that correspond to the previous choices: in this case, “computer software engineers” and “computer software engineers, applications.”

After finding out a relevant occupation, the next (optional) step is to get contacted by a representative from a school which offers a degree related to the chosen occupation. Once the form is completed, a page will outline that occupation’s description with knowledge, skills, and abilities; detailed work activities; and both national and zip-code-based salary information.

“Choosing the right degree can be critical to a successful career,” says Kevin Herendeen, General Manager. “The team at YouShouldGoToSchool.com has created a Career Matcher tool to help people match their strengths and interests with colleges that offer degrees leading to their chosen career.”
