    So I had a meeting with our school's career guidance teacher. Went in there with my mind fully made up.

    Half an hour later I'm confused and frustrated andand I don't know what to do now. :(

    FML I had a hard enough time picking what I wanted to do in the first place..

    This happen to anyone else?

    Our "career" guidance teacher always stresses that you cannot see into the future. You may have interests now, but whats to say you won't like something else in 2017? Our career talks last year were based on that assumption. One past pupil had loved English and creative writing and went on to study History in TCD. He's now a Computing engineer (or something like that) working specifically in broadband development, quite a contrast.

    Me personally, I'm going on what I'm interested in at the moment. I want to do Law, thats not to say I don't want to do jam making in letterkenny, but its all I have to go on right now.

    I'm thinking about Social Care now. One thing I've noticed is like, whenever we have talks about college choices or whatever, we've never actually been told that we can change our minds after the first year or two.

    I think people forget about that when they're thinking about courses. It seems a lot less scary when someone tells you that you can change again.

    Yeah, of course you can. A few years ago my brother changed from an ITS course to a game design thing. Now he's working for Blizzard Entertainment in California. :rolleyes:

    Good for you:), I did work experience in a hospital which I won't name, but the midwifes (who talked to us sometimes) were amazing people, not only professionally but just as people.

    I'd say they alone make childbirth about a million times easier...(as if I'd know):cool:

    Yeah I did work experience in a hospital too... Yeah the thing I like about midwifery is you're probably closer to your patients than other nurses, you're with them for 9 months like! Plus the mammys prefer them to the doctors :P (so my mother says :rolleyes: ) my middle name was picked after my midwife, because dad thought she was great :L

    A guy in my maths class was out for the first two and a half weeks with tonsillitis, missing all of the basics of integration; he spent Thursday lunch-time with our teacher and is now pretty much up to speed. I doubt you'll be too far behind :)

    Our debs committee haven't even met up this year. I should know, I'm on it. Everyone else is really like, laid back about it. It's annoying. :( Am I the only one who knows it's going to cost a fortune?!

    Anyway, September's weird. The weeks are flying but the weekends are nice and slow. :)
