"Many of my friends still don't know what they want to do career-wise and have spent time doing exams and courses that don't interest them. More guidance is needed in schools and different options should be made widely available – academic routes don't suit everyone."
Mathew
"There is a lack of consistency in careers support which varies greatly from school to school. It is important to enable every young person to have access to relatable role models and exposure to diverse career options."
Jane
"I don't know what to do. I have discussed with all sorts of advisors and friends and they all seem to come out with the same idea.: just because you have got a degree it doesn't mean that you will land on your feet job-wise. The job market has changed and employers are on the lookout for skills, not only knowledge."
Mike
"I think the work environment plays an enormous role in how satisfied with your job you are. I mean, if you don't feel at ease in the place you are going to spend the most of your time every day, how can you be expected to be creative and feel fulfilled by what you do?"
