ECD 1.01 Interests Section Interest Areas – What Do With? Presentation Development ECD 1.01 Interests Interests – Our interests include hobbies and activities, things we are kind of “interested” in doing more so than other things. There are four main categories of interests. We can use our interests in these categories to help identify college degrees and potential careers that may be a good fit for us! The four main categories of interests are: People – Interest in doing stuff with people Data – Interest in numbers, categorizing, making lists Things– Interest in making, building, repairing things. Ideas– Interest in creative things or creating things.

Top Right = Data has 7 questions. See notes below... Bottom Left = Things has 7 questions. Bottom Right = Ideas has 7 questions. Go ahead and answer the questions on the next slide! ………………………………………………………………………………… NOTE: In the top right Data category… Data- Numbers, categorizing, list …be a treasurer of a club?
