Career choice
 

Anyone still at school got any idea what they want to be when they grow up? I don't at all really, I've messed around with loads of options so I'll probably end up going with the flow!

Well umm
6th form for me with A levels
Then 5 years at college to be a vet (probably cambridge uni)
then im gonna be a vet at zoos
Yay :hello:

Deffo going to try and publish my novel be a general celeb Meh wants to be famous!!! :hello:

Wicked choices you two! :thumbs:
Vet and writer!! :hello:

Yep Allways wanted to be
Want to go to zoos and treat lions and stuff Lol

i want to go into media

Have you decided exactly what in media yet? I feel left out, everyone seems to have properly planned-out futures!

Now I have finished my A level's I've not really got an idea of what I want to do.

You'll know when the time comes
I know what im doing cause I know what I want to be exactly

well hopefuly TV
butu at the moment i am doing all media in college

I wanna do something in media,fashion or something to do with children. Just not exactly sure what yet!

Cool choices people
Ive got the messiaest job YAY

Oh cool!

Yeah, I don't have any idea at the minute, I'm just hoping I'll come up with something over the next year or so. :tongue:

Dan do you not have any idea at all? Like, do you have any particular interests? Because, since I don't, I was told by teachers etc. to take a mix of A Levels..

IO allredy know
Allthough it changes weekly so you never know

haha yeah I know people who change their minds often..
But you do seem pretty dead-set on it, plus it sounds cool as well.

Yea
I cant wait till im all setteled down with a good job
Zebras and lions and girraffes YAY!

I suppose I might like to get into sports journalism or sports radio, other than that no idea.I really didn't have any clue when I was about to pick my A level subjects, I only really decided I wanted to go back for 6th form a week before my GCSE results, so they just said do what your good at lol.

Lol
My mocks are gonna be soon
AHH

I did worse in my mocks than in my GCSE's, suppose it was a bit of a wake up call that I was not trying hard enough in some subjects.

Don't worry too much!
I worried a bit about my GCSEs but when it came to it I just did my best and now it turns out AS Levels are really important so it's like argh! I need a break!

Oh and Dan lol I'm pretty much the same, except I knew from before I wanted to stay on, except for my choices I really had no idea either. But both sports journalism and sports radio sound good, at least you've got everything narrowed down a bit..

Lol I remember my year 10 exams I was like AHHH And i did really well
We get to go on study leave as well

Yer it's just finding the job now, easier said than done :laugh:

Lol ivwe allready got a job for when I turn 16
Im working at a pizza place

i wanna edit a magazine when im older:hello:

I wanna do a magazine it will be fun
About animals Lol

A solicitor or an accountant, something like that anyway. :thumbs:

I want to work in Radio, Doing 2 weeks work experience with 2FM in Ireland in Novermber -- Can't Wait!

That's great shame I can't hear it :sad:

Well i wanted to join the army but asthma is stopping me.

Now i want to join the police as my 'long term job' however, there are other jobs i want to do before that like club repping, social worker, working abroad. I like writing too so something in writing would be good.

Its a shame ive already grown up lol

The good thing is the national curriculum makes sure that you study all of the essentials, so all of your options should be chosen based on what you are good at and what you enjoy the most. I am 35 and still not sure what my chosen career is!

I don't think there's a certain time when you "should" know what you want to do in your life - the time will come, whether 5yrs old, or 55yrs old! I don't have any clue at all about what I want to do. I've ruled out certain careers e.g. Doctor, Scientist, Vet, through picking German, Eng Lit, Geog and History. Once I finish A-Levels, I'd like to go to uni, but I'll be like "Right.... what now!?!" It's a bit daunting!

Yep I get what you're saying, although my school's being quite pushy at the moment. A Level options to an extent did make me think about it, but because I've taken such a mix, I've left quite a lot of options open. Plus it's always good to have some sort of idea, it seems like everyone I talk to does - even if they don't have a dead-set ambition, they have an idea. Which is why I know that your choice can change - you can also go through different careers - but in that case there's normally a common theme, isn't there?

That's what I need to find I guess.

Yeah, I think starting 6th form has, if this makes sense, made me realise that school will come to an end. It sounds really strange and pathetic, but I'm a bit scared about it ending, because then we'll actually have to make grown up choices, decisions and make our own lives successes for ourselves, if you understand that. I agree that once we find a theme, it'll be a lot easier, but I just don't have any direction. It's a bit daunting, I feel v. childish, lool! :blush2:

Well Im going to finish school, go to college and then find my place in Media. I really want to work in it. Hopefully, if I do well with it in college, it could open up a lot of doors for me.

i dunno yet
but i wanna do something to do with health care :)

Cool! :thumbs:
