School’s out and there are choices to be made. Like all great adventures, there are risks involved in pursuing your career dream. But with persistence and a sense of humour, you’ll find a job that’s right for you.

You’ve probably been thinking about your work and study options – and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. If you’ve flicked through the jobs section of a Saturday newspaper, you know already that there are literally thousands of careers out there.

These days people go through several different jobs in their lifetime. Some even change careers more than once to find the work that’s right for them.

Your first step should be to weigh up whether you want to keep studying or launch straight into work. The only way to make an informed decision is to get your hands dirty and do some research.
