Deciding your career at school

You have to pick. Nobody told you how.

Career planning is a series of decisions you make consciously, or by default, while you are in school. This site is here to take the pressure away and help you make informed ones.

Decision one · decided at school, the sooner the better

Almost nobody arrives able to answer the three above. Working through them properly takes weeks, and these are the three reasons people get stuck.

Ask someone what a career is actually like

Sessions are held online on Saturdays or Sundays, and cover what different careers involve day to day: the working hours and conditions, the kind of work done, and the common reasons which motivate people or make them leave. There is no charge at present, and parents are welcome to join the call.
