Hi,
I’m an engineer in its late 30s and I sometime go to high-school talking about my job, my scholar background, etc… I remember being very stressed about my future at that time, so I try to tell them what I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.
If any teens are reading this (or people in contact with teens), what topics or advice would you want to hear from some random dude like me ?
Thanks for your help
ps: I know most of lemmy users are middle age, but there is no way I create account on shitktok, Insta or stuff.
I’m 16 and currently in my first year in “gymnasiet” (were you in Sweden study for three years, beginning at 16) studying natural sciences. I’m in three years probably going to go to highschool or university, but I have really no idea what I want to do.
Ofc I want descent chances to actually get a job afterwards, and I really would want to do something that’s at least partially practical. Although, I do enjoy studying and ended primary school last year with more or less top grades (335/340 meritpoäng), so I’m probably gonna keep in studying for quite a few years, as I’m in a position to do so.
But more or less, I feel like anything can happen during the next few years, given the state of the world and the development of AI. Given that, I haven’t thought that much of any career in particular. And I don’t really have to decide until spring 2028, so I’ll have to see where we’re at then
