Job Shadowing/Work Experience

You should get as much information as you can about any jobs you are interested in. One way to do this is through what is called job shadowing. This means you spend anywhere from a half day to a week or so with a worker. This will give you some idea of what the worker does. It could also help you find out if you would like a particular job or not.
