I think schools should opt for a program where they call their ex-students or show clips of "A day in the life of a (insert job/position)".
When I finished highschool, I had no idea what I wanted to be. I wasn't exposed (enough) to what kind of jobs available out there, what kind of courses should I enroll in and what are the day-to-day tasks/ work involved under what position/post and most importantly, DO I REALLY WANT THIS JOB?
So my friends and I filled up our UPU forms without knowing anything about the courses we applied for and just judging by the name of the courses.
Little did I know, I had no interest in any of them.
Prolly there are schools doing this already but unfortunately I didn't have the privilege of having that during my time. I was so overwhelmed by the concept of science-stream and having to further my studies in science-related courses and be a chemist/ engineer/ scientist (LOL).
What I’m trying to say is, I don’t want my brother and sisters to jump into something they don’t want to do, when they reach this phase I’m in now.
