Making some decisions

If you know it’s time to make a decision, or you’re getting the urge to make a change but you don’t have a plan yet, then first off you should find someone who can give you some good advice.

You might have just started looking for a career and you’ve found that the answers haven’t come to you straight away. Or it might be something you’ve been struggling with for years. But the reality is that no one knows what you want more than you do, so you’re just going to have to persist, no matter how difficult it seems.

If you're still at school, then you'll probably have a career advisor who will look at your school results, talk to you about what you like doing or what interests you have and then suggest a range of careers you might like to consider. Or you could talk to one of your senior teachers. You don’t have to go along with everything they say, but they can give you good ideas on the sorts of things you might like to choose as a career.
