What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

By: Kristyn Mott, Peer Advisor

As a child you were always asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well guess what? I am currently 20 years old and I am still asking myself the same question. But now instead of, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, the question has changed to, “What do you want to be in a couple of years?”

I always thought that coming to university would provide an answer to that question, but unfortunately that is not always true. I have learned that university is a time to find yourself and explore many different career opportunities that interest you. Laurier is not just a place of education, it is a place of self-discovery and it offers many resources to help you find the perfect fit. A lot of those resources can be found at the Career Centre; they offer personality and interest assessments and many hard copy and online resources to assist with your career research.
