Basic Test

Ask your teachers, parents or career advisors the following question :

"Do you know what you are gonna eat tomorrow at lunch ?"

Answer will invariably be :

-No idea

They don't have a clue of their next meal, and they should know what are your professionnal aptidudes in the next 10 years ?!
C'mon !

Go for it !

I was in a situation of scholarship failure 15 years ago, and I was predicted to be barely able to find an apprenticeship in the bakery or plumbery world after school !
But with a lot of will and a bit of luck, I managed to pass 2 highschool exams (similar to GSCE) and after 10 years as technician in the nuclear industry, I spent my earnings in some training school.
Now I am 31, got a nice flying job, and future seems bright.

My career advisor is still a career advisor .....
