While some argue that it is too early for students to worry about careers given uncertainties about the future job market, this document recommends that students begin exploring careers now by reflecting on their skills, interests, and ambitions, as well as researching different types of work, so that they can take responsibility for their career path and make informed choices about their future. The world of work is changing rapidly, and gaining self-knowledge and researching options early allows students to lay their own "crazy paving" career path.
