    Three Essential Questions


    Please think back to Year 10 and the Its All Happening Session.
    We asked you the following questions: What do you love? What are you good at? What are your priorities? Please also consider what are your parents expectations? How much does this matter?

    Why do we work?

    Those with a college degree will earn $500,000 more over a lifetime than their non-degree peers.

    Making money? Yes, thats part of it, but not the whole story!

    Bad Fit

    Nothing is worse than having a job that doesnt suit your personality, or where you dont make use of your potential.

    Youve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great workIf you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle.

    -Steve Jobs

    When you work in an environment Career Satisfaction where you get to express your personality traits, talents, and skills in a meaningful way that benefits others.

    I guess the most important thing about university is visiting your favorite universities during the summer holiday. I visited several universities, and I immediately knew I belonged in William and Mary . When you visit a college, you'll be given a tour by a tour guide (usually a college student) and you'll be able to ask them all these questions. What's great about this is that the tour guides are students so they'll understand what you're looking for.
