    Hi !!

    At age 61, I m not very sure now to what field to go into for a masters degree, it s being almost 4 decades since I got out of college. Is there a career quiz that I could do ?

    Thank you so much,
    Isabel

      Hi Isabel – Yes that can be a challenging thing to navigate! I think it is a combination of what you enjoy and want to learn more about and where your skills are.
      I think if you don’t have something you are currently drawn to, you might want to get some type of career coaching. An online quiz might be fairly impersonal and not take into account your experience, the way you work, and things you get excited about.
      I just took one myself and it said I should go into the medical field which is absolutely the wrong career for me!
