			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Career Education</h3>
<p>The path from applying to an educational program to attaining your degree is long and rocky.  Each year, approximately 4 million students will enroll in post-secondary institutions in the United States.  According to census data, an individual with a bachelor&#8217;s degree can expect to earn nearly $1 million more over his or her lifetime than someone with only a high school diploma.  With tuition increasing at rates far higher than standard inflation, choosing a program that you will be willing and able to complete is more important than ever before.  <a href="http://advice.localhost:3000/article/3-career-education-choosing-the-right-college-program" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://advice.localhost:3000/article/3-career-education-choosing-the-right-college-program');">Read more</a></p>
<h3>Career Counselors and Career Coaches</h3>
<p>Are you at a career crossroads?  You may benefit from the professional help of an experienced career counselor. Career counselors and coaches can help you develop a career plan, assess your best job options, develop your job search skills, and navigate difficult employment issues.  <a href="http://advice.localhost:3000/article/2-career-counseling-an-overview" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://advice.localhost:3000/article/2-career-counseling-an-overview');">Read more</a></p>
<h3>Career Profiles</h3>
<p>“What do you do?” It’s one of the most common questions we ask each other. Have you ever listened to a friend talk about her job and wondered what, exactly, her title means? If you’re in school, I’m sure you hear a great deal about the importance of having the right skills and education for your chosen field, but how do you even know what’s required?  Relying on your college or vocational training program may not be enough.  Find out more with Careers.Org’s extensive directory of occupational profiles.  <a href="http://occupations.localhost:3000/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://occupations.localhost:3000/');">Read more</a></p>
<h3>Career Assessments</h3>
<p>In today&#8217;s challenging economy, many job seekers are looking for reliable work with solid industries, or looking to change careers altogether.  Getting and keeping the job that will take you and your family successfully into the next chapter of your lives hinges on discovering the best career match for your talents and passions.  As you begin your search, let a career assessment help light your path.  <a href="http://advice.localhost:3000/article/14-start-fresh-with-the-help-of-career-assessments" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://advice.localhost:3000/article/14-start-fresh-with-the-help-of-career-assessments');">Read more</a></p>
<h3>Career Advice</h3>
<p>If you are a student or job-seeker, chances are you have been the recipient of a great deal of unsolicited advice.    Your family and friends, though well-meaning, may not be the best career advisors.  Always consider the source.  Get the best possible start by seeking out qualified advice on resume prep, job interviews, cover letters, and career development.  <a href="http://advice.localhost:3000/article/9-career-advice-reliable-sources" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://advice.localhost:3000/article/9-career-advice-reliable-sources');">Read more.</a></p>
