What makes a good career choice? Research shows that most people will have an average of six career changes during their lifetime and career paths can go off in many unpredictable directions. Jobs for life are very rare. While career development these days often applies to people of all ages and stages of their life, it is at school that this first becomes an issue. The key focus for career advisors and teachers is to help students to make informed choices based on exploration. Then why do so many people drop out from courses or later on regret their career choices.

Where do kids get their choices? Of 2600 current year 12 students surveyed, 89% look to Mum and Dad as their first source of information. Parents are a group that may have last made their own career choice over 25 years ago. A lot has changed since then. Industries that didn't even exist when they left school are now some of the fastest growing businesses in the world.

The dropout rates for first year students are the highest they have ever been with one in five students dropping out of a university course within the first 12 months of enrolment. One in three students failed to complete the university course they began. It's worse for non-university higher education where close to one quarter do not complete their first year.

Factors from outside and inside influence career choices and people often find it easier to identify and rely on factors from outside such as family pressure, pay, peer pressure and dreams to decide their choices. More difficult to identify are the factors from inside such as strengths, weaknesses, passions and interests. These factors have a significant impact on career decisions as well. If you study something you feel connected to and it matches your passions and life purpose you will find studying easier and more rewarding.
