If your still in highschool, what are your plans after it's over?

If not, what did you do after highschool was done?

LOL, same Dani!

But, I was having a chat to my english teacher about not knowing want I wanna do, & she said go for something that interest me. So I says to the teacher, I says "Only thing that interests me is footy". She suggested something in the field like physio-therapy, the guys who give the players a rub (& possibly a tug) after the game.

Im really looking into that now, might be a trainer for a local football team to get some experience

I took a few months off that turned into a year, got to perfect my snooker game at Panthers and spent a lot of fun times just hanging out with friends.

Don't worry, I had no idea either, tried a heap of different jobs before I moved into a field I enjoyed about ten years after highschool.

I'm in year 10 and when I leave I want to be involved in sport, most preferably league, in any way, shape or form , be it coaching, playing, as an admistrator, journalist, whatever.
Getting bored in class so mkuch over the years has shown me that I wouldn't be able to stand spending my life concentrating on something that I don't have a passion for.

The day after I finished my last HSC exam I went to mid NSW and beg carting hay for a contractor. Worked 6 days a week for 5 and a half months straight doing that. Put my back out, got a job as a barman just before I turned 19, 8 months later I became the manager, as well as obtaining a job maintaining a vineyard. Took up haycarting again that summer for the last time.

I did all that instead of concentrating on getting into the conservatorium of music. Smart move *cough*dickhead*cough*

I was looking into becomming a physio-therapist for players Immy... Its a hard corse to get into but there are alotta side paths that you can go through to get it. If you want to do it straight up its like a 95 in ur UAI.


Im looking at either footy player or a pe teacher.

I finished last year, and now im studying electrical engineering(technology).
Im doing ok but I do regret not taking up my preferred path of becoming a chef, I just became too lazy to work the 16 hr days.

Now I look at it, cooking is the only real passion and skill I have.

Also if i could turn back time, I would've taken atleast a 6 month break, after highschool and the HSC, I was not focused and confused when I started TAFE. Going from a big step like the HSC and onto TAFE a even bigger and harder step, I just wasnt ready for jumping back into study and hard work.

high school will be one of the best moments in your life. i would rather go back to school again than work..... i only got 45 UAI so i guess i couldnt really go to uni if i even wanted to.

I finished high school in 2001, ew that was so long ago. so little 17 yr old feez moves away from everyone she knows to brisbane and starts uni, did a massage therapy course, it was only a one year thing, a cert IV, i have issues tying myself into things. finished that, it was awesome and I rocked at it but it was really f**king up my hands and stuff so i went 'nah, not as a career' so then I tried a few odd jobs and temping, was unemployed for ages and it was great, i loved bumming around, then fell into a PA job in october 2003 and im still here! I love it, i love office work and I'm awesome at it

Next year I'm going to go work on a cruise ship :D
