Is your response to people asking you about your career choice, ‘I don’t have a clue’?

Whilst you may be concerned about and feel like you should have a clue, the fact is its perfectly normal not to have a clue. When I went to high school the careers practitioner suggested I would be well suited to an engineering role and my parents wanted me to be a PE Teacher.

So when my HSC results came I decided to commence Law at UNSW but quickly found  I could not read the mountainous volume of case law, so in quick time I switched to marketing. This in fact was the best career decision I could have made and I have enjoyed a long and successful marketing career.  The four career choices could not have been more polarised but I learned you should only take career advice from individuals who have experience backed up with knowledge.

Feeling a little confused on your career, don’t have a clue – share your thoughts with us. We will help you resolve what’s chewing away at you. Better still ask your parents about their career experiences. Bet you get the same answer – they didn’t have a clue either. If you’re a parent it’s time to come clean on your early career path!
