Journal of College Student Development
The American College Personnel Association’s Journal of Student Development features informative studies that focus on the needs of different student populations. Their articles can provide advisors with insight into how to better relate to these students. Thanks to Kathy Rex for this submission!
Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH)
The OOH, which profiles hundreds of different types of jobs, offers students insight into specific careers they may be considering. Each profile contains a job description, required training and education, salary information, job outlook, and related occupations. The education and training section is especially helpful, as it demonstrates to students that they do not need to pursue a specific major for the majority of careers. It helps them to move beyond the “I must be a business major to go into business” and the “What can I do with a history major besides teach?” mentality, opening their minds to other options. Thanks to Sara Mock for this submission!
