Let your own judgment and intuition guide you. Nobody knows better than you which direction to take. Don't limit your vision if the results don't "fit." Bay Area Career Guide contains information about hundreds of local community college programs, so explore any program that seems interesting to you. The more information you have, the better prepared you will be to make an informed decision.

Bay Area Career Guide does not replace counseling.  There are excellent career services available at every community college. Trained professionals can help lead the way to a career that suits you best. Other valuable resources can be found at your local One-Stop Career Center or public library, or by speaking to a school counselor.

Don't rely on Bay Area Career Guide for definitive answers, as it is not an exact science.  It was designed to help you generate ideas you hadn't already considered. Never rely on one isolated test or survey to tell you what to do with your life. Take advantage of the many resources available to assist you in making career and educational decisions. Although the developers of this website have made every effort to ensure that Bay Area Career Guide is up-to-date, community colleges add, modify or delete programs often. Your best resource for the most current information about community college career or job training opportunities is generally found through online catalogs on individual college Websites, or by contacting the college directly.

Bay Area Career Guide identifies your interests using the popular Holland Code. Dr. John Holland, a well-respected career development expert, developed a theory that people can be loosely classified into six different personality categories. Bay Area Career Guide uses this theory to point out your two strongest categories to help you plan a satisfying career path.

Bay Area Career Guide targets your interests, not your abilities.  Although you may find a lot of enjoyment participating in certain activities, this does not mean you will be good at them. You may need to take other assessments to identify your abilities for a specific occupational area.
