With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start when thinking about what you’d like to do after school.
To help you get started think about:
- What subjects you enjoy
- What your personal strengths/skills are (eg are you good at writing? Are you good with computers?)
- What you like to do outside of school (any hobbies etc that you could turn into a career?)
- What drives you? (eg money, helping others, job satisfaction)
Being happy in your chosen career is so important so taking the time to really think about these things now could save you a lot of stress in the future!
