To All Boston YAG members:

We found a wonderful online survey that Brother Foster took to see if it correctly identified his key career interests in the light of his answers to questions about preferred activities and preferred subjects of interest to learn about. It works! Of 16 career clusters that are profiled and ranked with points assigned, based on the answers you give, Brother Foster found that the 6 out of the top 8 career clusters identified as "strong correlations" for him were dead on.

So, we invite you all to go online and take the survey. It doesn't take long. There are 48 questions to answer (3 for each of the 16 career clusters) and they are relatively easy. Just click on your answers, then print out your results or save them in a file so you can refer to them later. If you would be willing to share your survey results with us, along with your personal comments about whether the results seem to "fit" with you as you understand yourself, that would help us do a better job of providing you YAG members with helpful career-related resources.

We also highly recommend that you read Elder Clayton Christensen's recently published book, "How Will You Measure Your Life?". It gives great insights into how to plan for your career and your life.

Brother and Sister Foster
