Now describe a career path that will lead you toward that goal. It may help to work “backward”—

that is, start with your final position and work backward in time to some entry-level job. If you aren’t sure about the career path that will lead to your ultimate goal, do some research. Talk to someone in your selected career field, ask an instructor who teaches in it, or go online. The website of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, for example, has a section on Career Resources, which includes information about career paths and position descriptions for accounting.
