Mechanic
(Auto Technician), Engineer, Park Ranger - do these sound like jobs
for guys to you?
How
about Hairdresser, Childcare Worker or Librarian - jobs for the girls?
Anyone,
male or female, can do these and other jobs. It's a matter of keeping
your mind open to all opportunities. It's about finding your passion
and following it. It's about doing what you want to do.
When
you're trying to decide what you want to do, make sure you consider
all of your options and you'll make the best choice.
If
you want to work with kids and you're considering being a child care
worker or a teacher - that's great. There's nothing wrong with doing
what some people may label a typically female job - as long as you're
doing it for the right reasons. It's all about following your passions,
not doing something because someone wants to put you in a box, or
it hasn't occurred to you that you could do something else.
Same
goes if you have an interest in cars and you want to be a mechanic
- go for it! You may come across some people who think it's a bad
idea, but if you really want to do it - don't let ANYONE stop you.
Its your life, and you need to live it.
Explore
your options. Whether you're in Year 9 or 10 and thinking of leaving
school, or you're heading towards your HSC, or you have already left
school and are looking for a change or new job or career path, you'll
be surprised by the range of options that are open to you. When you
know what's out there, it's just a matter of making smart choices,
because the choices you make now are really important.
This
website is all about helping YOU make the right choices for
yourself.
