Making choices depends on the kind of person you are.

Before you can make choices and decisions you need information. This could be about qualifications, types of work, or training opportunities.

First of all though you have to ask
What Sort of Person Am I?

Whatever you choose to do, the sort of person you are and the skills you have can be as important as what qualifications you need. So you need to know:

*
  • What are you good at?
  • What do you enjoy?
  • What are your hobbies?
  • What subjects are you best at?
  • What experience have you already got?
  • What are your ambitions for the future?
  • What are your career ideas?
  • What are you interested in?
  • Who do you need to talk to for advice?
  • What routes are available?
  • What training will you need?
  • Where can you study/train/work?
  • What qualifications will you need?
  • Where do you need to visit?
  • What information do you need to find out?
  • When do you need to apply?
