The Strong doesn’t list the job I’m interested in. Why are there so few professions listed on the report?
That’s correct; the number of professions is limited. Obviously, a report could include hundreds of jobs. There are a quite a few challenges with that approach. First, some jobs are rather rare. Second, as the number of listings increases, the amount of confusion generated grows along with it. Third, the Strong shows you patterns of interests according to Holland’s theory of occupational codes. Using that information, you could look up additional jobs that match your two or three letter code. In short, you’ll have many possible job paths to select from, using the information from your Strong. You’ll notice each Strong report concludes with a listing of books for more information. You can read up and get a great deal more information about your career options.
