Question for all you college/starting career peeps... - Neo - 04-11-2018

Ok so I've had my career path since 2007.... It came unexpectedly and easy.  Ive never felt I wanted to do anything else cuz it just works for me.

That being said, my SO is 2 yrs older.  Has worked in various fields surrounding what he can find for work and usually it involved labor.  Now that he's finally got his paperwork from the government he is looking into college's.  Trying to figure out what he wants to go for within the limits of the GI Bill and his main area of interest is business management, sales, marketing and finance.  Something less labor intensive as he's getting older and has back/chest pain issues.  

Wondering if anyone has any good resources they have used to research careers available with certain degrees? Or even a career matching resource?  Something you maybe put information into and it tells you certain careers you may excel at according to your interests, schooling and personality...

TIA!!

I'm not sure about free resources for right now but I know many universities offer career counseling to their students that includes the type of assessments you are looking for. Some also offer them (or smaller versions of them) to prospective students, like this one: http://career.auburn.edu/students/prospective
