You can use a number of online resources to help with career choice.
If you want to use eCLIPS or Kudos mentioned below and are at school, ask your careers tutor if your school have purchased a licence so you can access the site.

eCLIPS offer online careers information. They have information about what qualifications, experience or interests you will need for a whole range of jobs. Look here to find out more.
Kudos
Kudos Online produces a list of career suggestions based on your answers to questions about your various aspects of work. You can see how well you are matched to any career within the program and see why each one has or has not been suggested for you. You can also look up your own career suggestions and see how suitable these are. Health factors can also be included to see how these may affect career choice.
