Choosing a career

This site has information on several careers and on how to get (this is an american site so things might be a bit different in Portugal) It also has other great tips on choosing what you want to do.

Finally, I found this site that lists 10 myths in choosing a career.

In my opinion, the most important thing is doing something you like :)
