Can you see the future?...




Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
I've always thought there were a lot of careers that made the world the better place.
I tend to think of 2 main categories: Helpful Jobs & Creative Jobs
Helpful jobs are jobs that help people, animals, or the environment. These include medical jobs such as doctors & nurses, helping the homeless or children, like a child protection officer. These are of the utmost of importance.
But then there are creative jobs. These include jobs such as a fashion designer or an artist in whatever field, fine arts (painting, etc.), music artist or video director.
In high school, I knew a girl who wanted to be a heart surgeon. In year 9 we had to chose our GCSE options (which, I'll add, is a matter to be thought through thoroughly (alliteration not intentional). Choose something that will help you in the future, but you've got to be reasonably good at it & it's vital you enjoy it or at least don't mind it). She'd asked me what I was going to take, & I replied "..art". She looked at me as if she thought art was a bit of a dead-end subject. It wasn't academic enough, etc. etc. Later that year we started our classes & she'd decided to take it as well. Art is a great subject to take as it nurtures creativity and imagination & teaches you how to work independently.
There are lots of jobs that you'll find art useful. An artist (obviously) & anything in design. It not only helps your drawing skills, but stimulates the imagination.

Don't dwell on mistakes, because they can start take over, but learn from them for the future.
Always remember to be ambitious & enjoy life.



Who knows where it could lead?...
Just keep climbing...
