Have you started thinking about your career yet? Does the news you hear about the status of the economy make you nervous as you consider college or the workforce?

America's Career InfoNet is a great site to learn all about hundreds of career paths. Learn about the pros and cons of the job, education and training requirements, outlook for the future, estimated salaries, schools and colleges in your area that provide training, related occupations, and more. They even offer short 1-2 minute videos for many of the careers to help you get an insider's perspective. Another plus for this site is that it is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, so you can trust that the information isn't intentionally biased.

If you're just looking for a summer job, check out SnagaJob, a site originally created by and for teens.
