Everyone's Career Is Unique by U2ice(m): 9:00pm On Jan 19, 2015 |
Career advice for teenagers So how can you plan? The best advice I can give you is to get the best education you can. Study subjects that interest you. Keep as many doors open as possible. This means keeping your options wide open. Don’t specialise too early. Try to learn a little about as many subjects as you can. What if Sir Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, had never become a pharmacologist? Medicine would be completely different. Many people’s lives would not have been saved by penicillin. Or if John Lennon and Paul McCartney had never learnt to play the guitar? The rich and diverse world of music we enjoy would just not be the same. So try as many things as you can, leisure activities as well as educational. Join in at sports, learn a musical instrument, swimming, take up golf –perhaps you will find a career in leisure? What about politics and current affairs –do they interest you –maybe you are a future Prime minister or news reporter? And take your education seriously too .Qualifications can open doors for you, and lack of qualifications can mean some doors remain closed. For example many large corporations have graduate entry schemes, and these are the best route to management. But not everyone is academic, and some of us are destined to work in other sectors, perhaps the caring sector, or leisure. So be realistic, assess your academic ability with career advisors, family and teachers. Go as far as you can with education, but when you are no longer enjoying your studies, perhaps it is time to look for something else. Lifetime learning is a well-accepted principle now, and you can always come back to studying later. Bear in mind though that “later” you may have family and responsibilities that will make returning to study a challenge economically .That’s why it is best to go as far as you can in your youth when you don’t have any other responsibilities. #Focus 1 Like |
