Nobody has, and you only need your next step.
There's a sheet to weigh them up, side by side.
Work it out for your own course, and your own money.
Start with what you're good at and what you like, and the book turns that into options.
Thirty seconds, no sound needed: a flip through the book.
Swipe or scroll sideways for more pages.
It makes a good graduation gift for anyone finishing school, TAFE or a course, because they fill it in themselves.
There's a page just for you, with better questions than “so, what do you want to be?”
And a page to write on before you hand it over: what you see in them, and what you wish someone had told you at 17.
I'm Morris Misel. For 30+ years I've looked at what's coming next, for businesses and the people in them.
I tell employers which jobs are on their way and who they'll need to hire. This book gives you the same picture, from your side.
SEEK has asked me about the jobs of the future since 2015, most recently on the fear of becoming obsolete. I've talked about careers with students at schools, TAFEs and universities, and I lectured at TAFE for fifteen years.
At nearly every keynote and workshop I give, a parent asks me what careers advice I'd give their kids.
When my own kids finished school, I told them they only needed to find their direction, not their lifelong path. This book is that advice, with the sheets to go with it.
Start small, with what you're good at and what you like.
Then try two or three things before you commit to one. The book takes you through it, a sheet at a time.
Heaps of people finish school without a plan, and plenty of adults still don't have one either.
For some courses and some people, yes. For others, TAFE, an apprenticeship, a job or a gap year makes more sense first.
There's a page to work it out for your own course and your own money.
No. It's for anyone finishing school, TAFE or a course, and wondering what comes next.
One they'll use. This book is theirs to fill in, and there's a page for you to write on before you hand it over.
Ask them what they're enjoying at the moment, and then just let them talk, because they usually will.
The page for whoever gave the book has two more questions like that.
AI takes over tasks more often than whole jobs, and which tasks shifts all the time.
I put together a free tool, HUMAND, that sorts work into what people do best and what AI and machines do. Try it at humand.life, and the book has six questions to ask an AI assistant about your own options.
Yes. Uni sits on the page next to TAFE, an apprenticeship, a job and a gap year, and they all get the same weight.
A download, so there's nothing to wait for in the post. You get two PDFs: one to type into, one to print on A4.
It's written for 16 to 20 year olds.
I'm a futurist. For 30+ years I've worked with businesses on what's coming, and that includes the jobs they'll need people for.
Since 2015 SEEK has asked me about the jobs of the future, from the work today's babies will do in 2038 to the fear of becoming obsolete. I've also talked careers with students at schools, TAFEs and universities, and I lectured at TAFE for fifteen years.
Mostly, yes, though a few pages, like your first pay, use Australian examples.

Choose forward.
