But before you even think career the first thing you should think about is what subjects at school you actually like doing and why.
If for instance you just love your biology class but fall asleep in English, it might be that you’re headed for a career in Environmental Science but can forget about writing the great Australian novel. You can make a living out of doing what you love, so choose your subjects carefully.
Don’t get stuck in subjects that bore you. At the same time you have to realise that what you do at school goes a long way to determining what you can study at Uni or what sort of jobs you want to go for when you leave school.
“I loved art at school but everyone told me I couldn’t do it for a job. But I talked to people and looked on-line and I know there are lots of jobs for people who are good at art, so I’m going for it,” Becky Hanson, Year 8.
