I'm coming towards the end of my education and now I suppose I should decide on the kind of career I want. I mean you are supposed to know what you want to do with your life when you begin secondary school- but honestly, what eleven year old knows what he or she wants to do for the rest of their life. I still don't know what I want to do-
Because I'm homeschooled I never saw a careers officer and I don't really think I would want to meet one- grades and social skills considered. Perhaps I should try one of those internet career websites. One which will tell me what kind of job I should lean towards. Honestly, I don't know what kind of grades I'm going to get when I finish school. I may get very good grades and I may get totally awful ones- depending on how I feel on the day of the exam and if I get any sleep. (It has been proven that children with 7 hours sleep instead of ten, IQ drops by two years. I don't know if that includes me as I have been sleeping on a four hour sleep for about a year now.)
I considered becoming a freelance artist- just going as I go- doing what I have to do but that seems a little unreliable as I don't know how that would work out. I should probably just give it a go and see how it works out. I love art and I have said I would go in that direction from an early age (but as I said who knows what they want to do from age eleven or younger)
Recently I considered working in a library as an assistant of course. (I've never actually had a job....) and perhaps later take a course in Librarianship *You actually have to take a four year course at university.* There are only six qualified librarians in this county. (I live in England guys....) This job sounds more appealing to me as it is in a nice quiet environment and I visit the library at least once a week- spending a hour or more in there. My little brother goes mad as he finds it so boring in there.
I know I need good English grades to become a librarian... It's not that my English is particularly bad; I'm just finding this Shakespeare stuff so difficult I want to bang my head repeatedly against the wall. It takes me about ten times to read the same act over and over till I actually begin to understand what he means.... Fortunately I have some notes and books to help me get through it.
I don't really want a job that is extremely boring- I know, beggars can't be choosers (hey my grades aren't that bad) but I want to enjoy my job and I want to enjoy communicating with the people there. I would hate to work in a restaurant or shop (no offence to anyone out there.) because of my poor social skills and just using the cash register would make my head explode. (Seriously they look really complicated.) (Loves self scan at sainsburys/tescos/somerfield....)
