Career Inventories
Interest inventories are only as good as the information that is put into them.  These are oriented to U.S. students and look at the full range of careers; vocational to post graduate careers. Interest inventories do not work for everyone but are a good starting point even if you know what you want to do.  You may discover a career that you had not previously considered.
