When I was at school, my sole piece of career guidance was filling in a very rudimentary careers questionnaire on paper, based on a series of “yes/no” questions.
This was sent away and, several weeks later, it revealed that the career most suited to me was a prison governor – I suspect that was because I had said I wanted to work with people, that I wanted to work indoors, and that I liked rules.
It will come as little surprise to you to know that this wasn’t the career path I chose (I shall resist making comparisons between prison governance and secondary school leadership!).
