A guide to school-leavers’ planning for the future When you leave secondary school, you have different options, including going to a university or a vocational school, getting a job, or taking a gap year. Sometimes choices may make you confused, so you should examine all your options before making any plans for the future. Below are some things you may like to try before making your decision. If there are teachers you really love or look up to, you can ask them for some advice. Your teachers have been observing you for months, so they know your strengths, talents, and personality. You may share your dreams and concerns with them and ask them to give you an honest opinion about what option may be suitable for you. If possible, you can talk to a career adviser when you are still undecided about your future plans and ask for their advice. If you can't find a career adviser, you can take some career-matching tests online. These tests are typically created by career experts and psychologists, so they can help you make an informed decision. Visiting a college or university campus is also important. This will make you think about whether you can see yourself there or not. Usually, educational institutions have orientation days for secondary school students to experience university life first-hand. You could even contact the university. So try following the above suggestions, and you will certainly make a more informed decision about your future plans. (Adapted from English Workbook 12 – Global Success) Question 23.
