Can get a bit heavy with the ecclesiastical and philosophical side of things but I enjoyed studying it.

Well if I get into problems, I'll send you a PM

In process of sorting out Work Experience...shall report back on my first enquiry if I am successful there or not. Though it looks like I will be.

Ours are at the end of this half term apparently so mid February is what we've been told. We'll probably have it at the same time as you though.

What lesson did you do the careers program in?

I did a careers program in PSHE in Year 9. Told me I was going to be a civil servant.

Don't trust those things. It gave me medicine :

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I got some kind of computer guy. Load of bollocks anyway.

 

[Magz]

Lol yeah I know.

Did it in PD/PSHE.

Number one for me was airport baggage handler.

Not a porter or a generic title for that type of menial labour it was narrowed down to an airport baggage handler.

That was a pharmacist, not a careers program.

I'll be damned if I can remember what mine said, if I did one.

 

[barmyarmy]

Think mine said housewife

 

[Highlander999]

Ah, so they are sometimes accurate

 

[Niv]

I was at home sick from school that day :O

 

[madmusician]

Mine said Forensic Scientist or Librarian/Historian. I am actually hoping to go into Music, so it was incredibly accurate there. :

Didn't dampen the fantastic lessons we had for Careers in PSHE in years 10 and 11. The Head of Careers (who has now retired) made us open up "Careerscape" which is a massive database containing loads of jobs, and go through in alphabetical order why we didn't want to do them.

Abattoir worker - it involves cutting up dead animals
Accountant - very stressful

And so on...

Not surprisingly, careers was an area given for the school to improve in their recent inspection report!
