As challenging as it is, education is the tool of your path to becoming a successful and productive individual. A/L’s plays a major role in helping you to determine the path you want to follow in future. The truth is, this is the perfect time to be dreaming about the future. It’s also the best time to decide your future and build your own path. So, how do you choose the right career that will actually set you up for a successful future?
The quick exercises below will surely help to lead you in the right direction.
Create a List of Professions
Every high school student does have an idea of what they want to do, which is a tremendous benefit when it comes to listing the professions that concern you.
This list should comprise all the fields, starting from those you are interested in as a child to those you are interested in right now, no matter how strange they might seem. This ultimately helps you to find your dream job easily.
Explore the professions that are available.
It's time to do your own research, once you've made a list. Don't worry; this work isn't anything like what you've been doing for your term papers, so it must also be easy and enjoyable! All you need to do is, reading entertaining posts, learn more about your future dream career(s) and learn more about your list of occupations. Then you will realize what you exactly want to do.
Think About Your Own Strengths and Interests
When you have little experience you can’t identify your strengths. You could look through your list of weaknesses in some situations and find that it all comes down to "I don't know, I've never tried." For example, how can you know whether you have an athletic or artistic skill if you've never attempted to do something related to them?
Never stop learning: read, grow, and expand your mind
Do not miss out opportunities to learn and try new things. Most teachers give or allocate the break and add-on reading lists — look at these as development opportunities rather than a burden on your break after spending two years to focus on your studies. The more you learn, the more you understand. It is a cliché, but remember education is the weapon you can use to change the world.
