Explore Your Values

Having a major that coincides with your values is essential. Few people can stand spending so much time with a subject that ethically doesn't fit. And, once you get out into the work world, you'll feel more committed to a job that you value, too.

What does that mean to you, valuing your work? How do you hope to feel about the major, and later, the job that you choose? Here are a few other values-oriented questions to ask yourself:

What classes have felt most worthwhile to you so far?
Why did you place that value on them?
What are the key values you hope to have in the workplace? Making a difference? Making money? Make a reputation? Making others' experience positive?

Take a free career assessment online, that will measure amongst other things, your values.

Your values can be one of your guides as you search for that fit. Come to the UCCS Career Center to discuss your interests, values, and abilities and take assessments to help you discover them. Main Hall 201, 719-262-3340.
