Your interests can give useful clues about possible study and career directions. When you are interested in what you are learning, you may feel more motivated to continue, even when your studies are challenging.
Interests do not always point to only one career. The same interest can connect to different fields. For example, if you are interested in helping people, you could explore education, social work, psychology, law, public administration, human resource management, communication, community development or health-related fields. If you are interested in working with money, you could explore accounting, financial management, taxation, auditing, economics, risk management or entrepreneurship.
This section aims to help you explore broad interest areas and connect them with Unisa qualifications, career fields, possible job titles and work environments.
