Chapters 4 and 5

In chapter four of Turning Points , the author gives a lot of advice on finding the right career for you. There was some advice given that I already did or knew, but there was also some advice that made me think about my decisions a little or started giving me ideas on getting closer to the questions I still needed to answer. There was a segment I thought was helpful called What are some good sources of information?, where she gives the reader were some reference books and magazines I could easily find in the library. It gave me the idea to look up some psychologist books, maybe biographies and informative articles about the field and getting to understand how it affects other aspects of your life. There were also some good websites that I took a look at when even doing my career/college research paper.

While searching for universities or four year schools I felt it was the hardest to find tuition fees on the website. Those universities seem to hide the link well, but I eventually got to finding them and probably took me god knows how long to find what I wanted. In chapter five it helps give me some advice on some questions to ask myself when browsing a college website, what programs the university/four year school has to offer. Since I'm going to be a transfer student I thought about if a college had any programs to offer for transfer students rather than just freshmen. The most important to me is what types of scholarships are available and what does it take to actually get into this school? I felt that trying to find these questions on the college webiste were kind of hard, which is so frustrating. I can never find the answer to one simple question. collegeboard.com and collegegrad.com were some websites I discovered while on the that famous double o search engine and came out pretty helpful to answering my questions. Thanks google.
