Read the advice given to Maia by a career consultant

Not sure which course to choose

• It’s not really a matter of choosing one course or the other. The question is which one will you do first? What is important for now?

• People have lots of different careers in a lifetime. This one decision is not for life, it may be for the next five to ten years only. Many people change careers completely three or four times during their lives.

• Think through the options. Perhaps going for the job that would earn you more money would mean you could afford more travel in your leisure time.

• Talk to people who do the two jobs you’re interested in to make sure you understand the realities of both. Then you will be better informed when it comes to making the final decision.
