Choose a Major, Career, and Path That Fits

The biggest decision points in your teens and early twenties aren't optional -- choosing a major, picking a career direction, understanding yourself. But they shouldn't be made blindly. JobCannon gives you data about your interests, personality, and strengths so you can make choices based on facts, not just feelings or parental pressure.

Start with the RIASEC Career Match test, which asks about your interests and matches you to 2,536 real careers with salary data, job descriptions, and required education paths. Then layer on Big Five to understand your personality traits, Values Assessment to clarify what matters to you professionally, and Multiple Intelligences to map your cognitive strengths to academic disciplines. Most students spend 30-45 minutes across these four tests and walk away with a clear direction.

All results are private, instant, and yours to keep. Download them as PDFs and bring them to advising sessions, college applications, or career fair conversations. No institution sees your data unless you choose to share it.

Assessment results aren't prescriptive -- they're informative. When your RIASEC results say "Investigative," that points toward careers in science, engineering, research, and technical fields. The Multiple Intelligences test then shows you which of those roles match your cognitive strengths. Big Five reveals whether you thrive in structured or flexible environments. Together, these paint a much clearer picture than gut feeling alone.

For example: If RIASEC points to Investigative + Artistic, your Multiple Intelligences shows high logical-mathematical and spatial intelligence, and Big Five shows high openness and low conscientiousness, you're likely drawn to fields like UX/UI design, architectural visualization, or industrial design -- structured enough to use your analytical skills, creative enough for your artistic side.

Use these insights when choosing your major, applying to internships, or tailoring your college applications. Share results with your school counselor to discuss next steps. And return to these tests whenever you're reconsidering your path -- career planning is ongoing, not one-and-done.
