Back(stage)

I’m back for quite a while now, finishing my career counselling sessions for this year. I’ve been having some positive surprises and feedback, but what is still to be done is to diminish the distance between school and work, that is, to provide opportunities for the students to acquire some self-efficacy beliefs that will be useful when choosing a career. Many of them will only start doing things their own when they enter university/college. Besides, there seems to be a lack of reflexion on the world of work, like what the sense of work is, why people work, how necessary it is for them to work etc. It may seem odd, but some teenagers have no idea where the money comes from. They don’t know how easy/difficult it can be to make money and they know nothing about the cost of living.
