Title: Career advice for 7 year olds
Post by: Miss Demeanour on October 26, 2009, 03:15:09 PM
Primary school children are to get careers advice from the age of seven under a new scheme to encourage them to develop aspirations early on in life.

Under plans drawn up by Schools Secretary Ed Balls, primaries will offer career-related learning, as well as opportunities to experience university life and the world of work, to children aged 7-11.

Mr Balls also outlined an ambition to provide careers advice through to the age of 18, as well as giving every young person access to a mentor who can guide them through the process of preparing for adult life.


If someone had asked me at 7 years old what I wanted to be ' when I grew up'   noooo:  I would have probably said a mermaid or  a princess ....I wonder how the careers advisor would have helped me on my way with that one  noooo: noooo: noooo:

See also Snoopy's comments about "babyfarms". The point of this "advice", doubtless, is to encourage them to work in some way for the government - thus ensuring future votes. You won't get a pension that big otherwise and seeing as something like 50% of the sproggs born these days are expected to live to 100+, a good pension is worth far more to them than to us "older" folk whose life expectancy is probably a quarter of a century lower.

Utter, utter wankers.  evil:
