Future thoughts by Sally Jansen

Have you thought about what you want to do in your future career yet? It’s hard, especially if you’re still at school and you don’t really feel keen enough on anything you’ve studied there to do it for the rest of your life! A number of my friends feel like that, although quite a lot of others have got very clear ideas about where they’re going. One wants to be a teacher, for example, and another wants to become a doctor.

However, I think some people have decided what they want to do because of their parents’ careers. As for my parents, my father is an engineer in the car industry, and my mother runs her own food business, supplying food for parties. Dad works really long hours, and they’re both usually really tired by the time they get home, so those jobs have never seemed very attractive to me.

Recently, though, I’ve started doing more art at school. I did well in my last art exam, and my teacher’s said some really encouraging things about my work. That’s all made me wonder whether I could study it at university and then earn money as an artist. But, just like my parents’ jobs, I know that wouldn’t be easy, either – there might be problems finding work sometimes. And at least if you work for a company, you get paid every month. But I’d rather do something I really enjoy than earn a lot of money.

Anyway, my whole class went off on work experience a month ago, so I spent two weeks helping out in an artists’ studio. It was great! I did things like mixing paint, preparing paper and even answering the phone when people rang asking about buying an art work. The artists working there were doing different things. One was a painter, and another worked with metal, making amazing life-sized shapes of horses and tigers. They’re displayed in parks and town centres – and our school is even going to have one soon, so when it arrives it’ll be absolutely amazing to think that I helped to make it!

Very few of Sally’s friends have decided what they want to do with their lives.
