Career Development Resources

In architecture class today, we discussed 'what we would like to do' as a career in architecture.  We received an assignment to make a list or take an online career interest assessment.  Having taken a bunch of career interest and skill assessments before, I was asked to share my resources.  For those who may be uncertain about a career in architecture, or any other field for that matter, here are a few excellent career development resources. 

The official website of "What Color Is Your Parachute" by Richard Bolles -- the undisputed best book on career development.  For specific Counseling, Testing & Advice go to these links on his website.  Inside each of the following links is a brief description of several excellent resources (some free).
