What should choosing an occupation take into account?

What you are good at, what interests you, what work there is, and what it pays.
What if you want an occupation you are not good at?
- Give up on it at once because you are not good at it
- Practise more and assess yourself
- Choose to study it right away without practising
Read the explanation
Practise, and judge how far you can improve before you decide.
What good does work experience do?

What children will practise
Choose a career and plan your life sensibly: weigh aptitude, interests and job opportunities, know what to do when you like a job you are not yet good at, value work experience, tell short- from long-term plans, and revise plans that go off course.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each - Choosing a career: aptitude, interests and job-market opportunities - Liking a job you are not good at: practise and assess yourself - Work experience: see the real work before deciding - Short- versus long-term plans differ in time span - A careers adviser gives information and views we can't see (not decide for us)
How to use it in class
Use in a guidance lesson before Grade 6 children choose a secondary school or study track. 6 minutes. - Play solo, then children write two jobs they are interested in, with the strengths they have and those to develop - For question 2, draw on experience, e.g. loving music but not yet playing well - If many miss question 1, ask "If the pay is good but you dislike it and can't do it, will you last?" - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.
Common sticking points
- In question 1, choosing only high pay, having heard adults stress salary - In question 2, choosing give up at once, since children this age judge themselves quickly - In question 3, choosing sure to be hired after graduating, thinking work experience reserves a job
