A career is about the life that you would like to lead, and it involves deciding among possible and preferred futures. Studying career choices may seem a little odd to you at this point, as you still have a lot of learning and growth to do, but by starting to learn your options now, you will have an easier time answering who you want to be in this world and how you can best make an impact in your community...when the time comes of course!

Despite the fact that, give or take, you will have 15 careers over our lifetime, most of you won’t settle on that first career until you're 25. According to Statistics Canada’s Youth In Transitions Survey, less than seven per cent of 25-year-olds had the same career expectations they did as 17-year-olds. It just goes to show that our aspirations and goals change as we learn, so knowing how to navigate the world of careers is an important part of making career-life decisions!
