Create a "Short List"
Based on what you learned from your research so far, begin eliminating the careers you don't want to pursue any further. You should end up with two to five occupations on your "short list."
- If your reasons for finding a career unacceptable are non-negotiable, cross it off your list.

- Eliminate careers that have weak job outlooks .
- Get rid of any occupation if you are unable or unwilling to fulfill the educational or other requirements, or if you lack some of the soft skills necessary to succeed in it.
