Didn't you know about Prospects?

It was a surprise to me recently that my friends weren't aware of the Prospects website. 

This is possibly THE best website for planning your career. 

Prospects offers information on every career you could possibly go into. Along with these it describes the qualifications recommended to entering the sector and if you don't have them how to get them. The experience employers look for. Expected salary after 'x' years in the profession. Where the jobs are available. Links to advertised jobs in that sector available NOW. Testimonials from people in that sector who are recent graduates who explain how they got into it. 

It will tell you about jobs you didn't even know existed. It can help you get a career goal, which will drive on your academic work as well as the experiences you choose to have. 

I know this seems like an advert for this website, but when I was unsure of what career to go into, it let me explore every possible option, built my motivation and let me know how to get to my career destination - all from the comfort of my own home! When you're on the homepage look for 'Options with your subject'. But don't think of these options as a limit, keep looking round the site and you will find there are many more careers you could consider too! 

So go on, give Prospects a go.
