Careers

In Chapter 1, the students graduating from the "Highest Class" choose a job by drawing slips of paper with job openings from a little cloth bag. Is this the best way to choose a career? Go to Job Predictor:

Type your name in the Job Predictor form, and choose any of the countries (there's no option for the US). Do you receive a good job? Is there a better way of determining careers for students?

Now look at the websites below. These sites can help students choose a career that suits their talents and personality traits.
