I don't know what career i want to do!!!
I think this is a topic that so many people find impossibly hard to answer because honestly there are so many possibilities of what you can do, but selecting the right one? Damn, that can nearly be impossible to answer. (it also doesn't help when its the only question you get asked)
At school it's an issue that is always discussed but not incredibly focused on, School's motto seems to be 'YOU NEED TO GO WELL SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD CAREER'. Straight away theres an issue, not for everyone because some people know what they want to do (lucky bastards) but for so many of us it;s the dreaded question - WHAT JOB WILL YOU DO?
Every time i am asked this question, i want to scream
I
DON'T
KNOW!!!
However in the past i have been known to respond with fantastic(sigh) answers such as 'erotic dancing', which funnily enough, while my friends find it funny, not so amusing to adults
But seriously, its one of the hardest or possibly the hardest choice you've have to make at this stage. For so many of us, we don't know. We don't even know what we want to wear that day, let alone what we want to do as a career. For me personally i font think school has prepared me in any way, to be able to make those decisions. The jobs that everyone knows about are the typical jobs; doctor, lawyer, musician etc. But what about all those small jobs that you don't know about. And you have no idea what's involved in that job, how they got there.
So i was thinking this morning on the way to school, it would be so useful if there was this siyr, that listed all these different types of jobs, actually having surveys for people to fill in about what they do on a day to day basis. How on earth did they end up doing what they were doing. Did they think they were going to do that? I would find this so helpful to be able to look at a list, pick a category that i think i'm interested in and actually be able to find out more about whats involved. So i'm pretty sure that tomorrow i'll start making a survey, and start compiling all these things together, and then over time hopefully i and anyone who reads this, might have a tinsy bit better insight into what possible careers are available. If anyone has any ideas of questions for the survey.
I hope no-ones stressing too dramatically over this, if you are feeling is mutual :)
