What are you going to do after 9th/10th grade?

Has it occurred to you that your educational choice may mean that when you start working, all of your colleagues could be the same gender as yourself? Would you rather work with both genders?

There are no restrictions on which occupations you can choose, as long as you have the skills and the desire. Even though most nurses are female, it is also a job that is suited for men. And even though there are more male data technicians, the job is just as suitable for women.

Many young people choose their education on the basis of what is popular in a given moment. A lot of people may want to become realtors, chefs, or TV hosts, for example. Many people also make their choice on the basis of where other girls and boys go.

What do you want to do? What are you good at?

As you try to work out your future, see if you can get any ideas from the Education Guide: www.ug.dk or talk to adults who work in jobs that you are not very familiar with. You can also find more information below:
