	abstract={We implement a randomized controlled trial in a low-income context to investigate whether students in lower-secondary school acquire information about potential career paths more effectively if this information is preceded by a task that allows students to explore their own interests and if the career information is ordered by the congruence between the careers and the student’s personality. We find that self-exploration in combination with the personalized display increases student information acquisition. Students also read about more diverse career paths and, low-performing students in particular, shift their focus from occupations that require university education towards those that require a high-school degree and are potentially more achievable.},
