My World of Work lets you enter up to six subjects that you enjoy and identifies possible careers for you to consider. The National Careers Service has information relating to subjects you are good at and subjects you enjoy.

ICould has some very good career videos as does CareersBox which not only give information on the career but what to consider in terms of education.
