I don’t know which career path to follow and it’s very frustrating. How can I decide? – Patrick

Many young people find it very difficult to make decisions about their career and its completely natural to be unsure. There is lots of research, best practice and advice available online and chances are you have already been looking and asking others for advice. In our experience, you can often go much deeper in thinking about the topics or work that you are most attracted to. Often, we talk about our interests, talents and strengths but these are not enough to cause you to commit. You need to be attracted.
