Career Paths can change!
When you are at school and making decisions which feel as if they will affect the rest of your life, remember that career journeys are rarely one straight road, they actually curve and bend and have many different paths! Some people realise they want to follow a different career or gain other qualifications later in their adult life but they often find that they can still use their previous experiences to benefit their new direction in many ways.
Here are links to stories of three people who changed direction, gained new qualifications and followed a new career path some years after leaving school.
