careernav.

We all love stuff.  iPhones, nice Jewellery, Nintendo DS, Gucci Sunglasses..... the list is endless.  Then there’s all the social stuff that goes with it.  Eating out, BBQ’s, beach picnics, footy trips to name but a few.  So you’re young and probably getting an allowance from reliable parents or other family members, but the reality is that the older you get, the less you’ll get from that support network.  It’s time to think about that job or career that will allow you to keep spending!

So you’re in year 12, and suddenly you’re going to be making some choices you’ve never had to make before.  Some people are excited, some just ignore it because there’s too much going on with mates and Facebook, others are just plain scared... but what you decide now could mean the difference between the life you want, and the life you really don’t.

Life is a pretty big thing to think about.  Lots of people far brainier than you or I have tried to figure out stuff like this for eternity, and failed.  The message here is, don’t over complicate things.  Think about what you like and dislike, then apply these things to the career choices you’re about to make.   

The reality is that making a decision on your career or further education is simpler right now than if you decide to change direction in 10 years time.  Getting it right at the start can mean the difference between shopping on Chapel Street, at Eastlands or on eBay!
