You’ve probably been to a few career fairs, had a chat with the school careers adviser and been inundated with leaflets, pamphlets and brochures.

Don’t worry too much if you still aren’t sure of what lies ahead – or where you want to go. The choice you make now isn’t binding. In fact you will probably change careers more than 10 times throughout your life.

What you have to do is take that first step into either employment or further education – it’s all about finding out which one suits you best. Start by thinking about what you like to do – your interests and things that are important to you. Decide if you want to continue to study – at university or TAFE – or find an apprenticeship, start work or even take a year off.
