A career is something you're thinking of doing for the rest of your working life. 73Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.
Don't let other people tell you what to do!
There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or work in banking, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it's your life and it's your decision.
Consider what you think you're good at.

Some lucky people get it right first time —— they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn't always like that, so remember——you're allowed to change your mind!Certainly, it's no good worrying for years: maybe you've got three or four possible things you'd like to do, so choose and try one——and if you don't like it, try another one.
Do something of value.
Some people choose their career simply because they think they'll make huge amounts of money. people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something of value to others. It doesn't have to be charity work——it could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don't forget that job satisfaction isn't only about money.
