Hola Amigos!!
This post is going to be a little different... Its about choosing what you want to do after you finish school!! Now, I thought that as soon as my time to choose what to do came around, I would know what uni I want to go to and what I want to study. I know roughly where I want to go and what I am aiming for but having one idea that is going to determine the next few years is difficult!! If you are in this situation, then this is definitely the post for you!! :)
If you are in the same boat as me then I want you to get out as soon as possible, and I too would like to get out now as well (haha)! However, I know that this is easier said than done. Choosing what you want to be, what to study at University, if your even going to go to Uni is so hard! I don't think any-one can truly prepare us for choosing, not even our teachers or parents! They can't decide for us, I mean they help as much as they can, but we have to be independent and choose that final thing!! As you may know, we can choose one thing then swap to another, but say your at Uni and you want to change courses, money is then wasted on that old course you don't want to be doing! I think that one of the hardest things is that we are expected to know; We are expected to know what our career path is at the age of 17/18 and I feel that, although this is reality, it is also unfair!
I personally have gone through so many different job options and Uni courses like fashion designer, journalism, law and although my choices have seemed so appealing there was no single one that stood out to me as 'YES! I am going to be your future career that you will do every day!'. I know the area/subject I want to base my studies around but figuring out what to do next is hard!! If you have any tips that you think are worth while please leave them in the comments so you can help me and everyone reading this decide and consider their options! :)
There are however things that I am certain about even if I do not know my EXACT next step! I have written them out for you to try to help with your next steps as-well!! I really hope that you find these useful and if you have helpful tips please write them below for everyone to see!! :) Here are my helpful tips!!
1) DO IT FOR YOURSELF!! Don't let anyone force you into an option that you don't like! Say your friends want to go to Uni but you don't, yet they want you to go with them- the answer is clear- if you don't want to and don't feel that it is for you then don't go! At this time I think it is OK to be a little selfish because after-all, it is YOUR future!!
2) Pick something that you are good at and love doing!! I love English as a subject and so I am going to base my choices around that! English is such a broad topic that if I do choose to do it at Uni I have multiple options as a career choice! So maybe if you aren't sure, choose something that you love but also gives you lots of options once you have finished the course etc so you leave your choices open!!
3) Research!! Look at all the options you have! Compare Uni's to see which one is for you!! Look at jobs that will make you one step ahead than your peers!! Look at internships or apprenticeships etc!! Just Google it all!! If you are looking at Uni's why not try 'WhichUni'- they are helpful!! :)
I really hope you found this helpful and I really hope that if you are reading this for tips then you do find out what you want to do!! If you have any questions then feel free to contact me by email at blueeyedblogr@gmail.com !!
