=**Career Options**=

In this unit we will be studying our career options for when we leave school. Choosing a job and a career can mean two different things. A career is an occupation you choose based on your interests or what you have studied for in school. A job can be permanent or part time but it is often used as a way of gaining experience towards a career. More often than not it is used to help pay bills or save up money for something special you would like to buy.

Whether you are choosing a job or a career, it is important you practice the skills necessary to get hired. Any job that you have will help you get the career you want for the future. It is important that you try your very best in all the jobs that you do so that you will have a good reputation as a hard worker for your next career or job.
