Career Clusters
The U.S. Department of Labor supports this free inventory test to help people identify careers that would be a good fit for them.
This is a quick and easy tool that asks a few questions to prioritize which "career clusters" might be a good fit for you.  Each career cluster links to occupations within the cluster.
