So my son is a Junior in high school and has no clue what he would like study in college or what he wants to do after college. Few days ago someone suggested to assess his skills and help him chose a career, of course for a substantial fee. Well, similar test can be found in Ferguson Career Guidance Center on the main page called: Career Interest Assessment. This feature can also help our students who cannot find a job in their particular profession, since it's pair skills with similar professions.

Also in Ferguson under: Career and Industry Resources one can find a list of Financial Aid Directories by Major with numerous organizations that offer grants to students. This can replace the print version of "The Scholarship Book."
