Career decision-making is not magic, and it doesn’t happen quickly. No one else can make the decision for you, and this may scare you at first. Always remember to discuss your thoughts freely as this helps you to clarify your own thinking. You must be actively involved in the process - no use letting someone else do the research.
Get the question right
Do you want to continue in education and if so to what level?
Do you want to get a trade apprenticeship?
Do you want to work in the family business and if so do you want to do so right away?
Do you want to go directly into work with no further education?
Do you want to travel and work abroad?

Hi Aisling. A website which might be interesting to people just considering their options is www.icould.com. It is very much a UK focused webstie but it has thousands of videos of people talking about their job and how they ended up in it. What is most interesting is that most of them took a circuitous route to where they are now so it demonstrates that there is more than the linear route of school to college to employment.
