Are you struggling to pick a career path that’s right for you? Or just wondering what types of careers fit different types of people?
The career you end up with isn’t usually a random choice – you think about it carefully, choosing school or training based on it, and maybe even experiment with a few types of jobs before settling on your career of choice. People take personality tests, career assessments (would you rather: build a bird house, or lift things up and put them down?), consult coaches, and use various other methods to determine where they should end up.
We decided to go back to one of the most basic assessments that is usually pretty easy to answer: What was your favorite class in school? Then we (non-scientifically!) put together this flowchart to help you go from there.
Start with your favorite subject and see where you end up!

If you’re like most people who have an interview, career fair, or an important business meeting in the near future, you’re probably thinking about what you’ll wear well in advance. Full suit? Pants and jacket? Tie, no jacket? But what may be more important than what type of clothing you wear is what color clothing you wear instead.
You may not know it, but subconsciously, we do notice colors and our brains interpret them, giving us different emotional impressions and even physical responses.
We researched the top clothing colors and gathered them in our latest infographic. So check it out before you get dressed for your next interview!
