Investigate and Inquire

Make sure to ask yourself a series of questions in order to narrow down your career path. Do some research, so you can factor into your plan the licenses, certificates, and the minimum qualifications you might need to reach your goals. Don't be afraid to approach people already in your desired position and pick their brain; many people are eager to recall the frustrating obstacles they encountered in their climb to the top. Take note of their advice, but keep an open mind--everyone's experience is different, and no path is the same!
