Choosing a career is a long process. It's about exploring different jobs and finding out what you like.
It's also about knowing your skills, what interests you, your personality, and what you value, and using
these to make your life fulfilling. The first step in managing your career is to understand yourself. You
need to know who you are, what you're good at, what you enjoy, and what matters to you. Remember,
your answers might change as you grow and experience new things.
Now, let's think more about it. Consider your skills and what you excel at. What interests you, not just
in your job but in your free time and family life too? What excites you about these things? Do you have
goals in these areas? What kind of work environment fits you best?
Having some idea of direction will make it easier for you to go over opportunities that come your way.
If you are very focused, there is a risk of not being open to options.

clear direction, you have narrowed down your options to two to three possibilities. Now you know who
you are and have a focused range of paths to take.

Exercise 2: Listen to the audio and decide whether those sentences are TRUE (T) or FALSE
(F):
1. Career orientation sessions in lower secondary school offer limited benefits for teenagers.

__False____
2. Career talks introduce teenagers to a wide range of job opportunities. __True____
3. Career talks only show the glamorous aspects of different jobs.

__False____
4. Hearing from professionals provides a realistic view of daily tasks and challenges in various
careers. __True____
5. Career talks help teenagers understand the educational and skill requirements for different jobs.
__True____
Career orientation sessions in lower secondary school provide many benefits for teenagers like me.
First, career talks introduce us to a huge variety of jobs. Doctors, artists, engineers - it's fascinating to
see how many different ways people can use their skills! Learning about these options helps us find
out what might interest us. Maybe you love animals and can become a vet, or perhaps you're creative
and could design video games. The options are endless!
Second, career talks give us real information about how different jobs actually are. We can hear from
professionals themselves about their daily tasks and the challenges which they face. This gives us a
more realistic idea of what a career is like, not just the glamorous things that we see on TV.
Finally, career talks can help us prepare for the future. We learn what kind of education and skills are
needed for different jobs. This can encourage us to focus on specific subjects in school and maybe
even explore extra-curricular activities that might be helpful.
In short, career orientation sessions are very important for our future.

 As teenagers approach the university level, they face the challenge of deciding which course to
pursue. In today’s diverse world, this choice is not easy for both teenagers and their parents. In the
past, this decision was simpler because there were fewer options in terms of learning areas.
Additionally, there were only a few distinct professional careers to consider, such as doctors,
engineers, accountants, nurses, and teachers. Most higher education paths usually led to financial
success, and the cost of education was not as high.
However, the world we live in today is completely different from what was described earlier. The
job market is constantly changing due to innovative technology and increased competition.
Meanwhile, many teenagers struggle to identify their own interests and passions. To assist them in
making these decisions, there are various well-organised career talks and student counselling
workshops available. These resources aim to guide and support teenagers in selecting the right
course for themselves. Additionally, psychological tests are often used. Various tools such as surveys,
interviews, and computer software can help identify the preferences, interests, and - learning styles of
students. These assessments provide valuable insights to aid in the decision-making process.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of higher education.
B. The challenges teenagers face when choosing a university course.
C. The importance of technology in the job market.
