What do you want to be when you grow up?
I've lost count of the number of careers that I thought I was going to do when I grew up (and yeah, most of friends and colleagues are still waiting for that to happen).
I can also remember asking my 6th form college tutor about how to get into certain careers, as well as my university careers service a few years later. The one thing that was lacking from both of them was some clear, impartial advice on the careers I was interested in, as well as some referrals to expert organisations that could tell me more.
That's one of the reasons why we've just launched a work & study section on askTheSite. Just like the other areas askTheSite covers (mental and emotional health, drink & drugs, sexual health & relationships, general health, housing, legal & rights and money), you can ask away about whatever's on your mind and you'll get an expert, confidential and anonymous answer in a maximum of three working days.
Right, I'm off to get some tips about joining NASA.
