When looking at your career, you need to consider what’s going to be the best option for you personally.
It’s natural to look to your friends and to want to make decisions based on what they’re doing next, but it’s important you choose for yourself.
It’s a good idea to consider other ideas as a backup, in case things change or you decide to do things differently. To make the best choices, you need to be as well informed as possible. You should speak to those around you about your options and how they can support you, for example:
- your teachers
- your parents or carers
- staff or advisers at school, college or training providers
- a careers adviser
