Ep 101 - How to Feel Confident About VCE and Choosing Tertiary Courses Part 2 [What's Your Favourite Subject and What Do You Like About It?]

You can also find Course and Career Chat on Spotify, Amazon Music and Audible.

What we’re talking about:

In this episode, I continue the mini-series on feeling confident about VCE and choosing tertiary courses. Instead of jumping straight to career titles, I encourage you to reflect on your favourite subjects and, more importantly, what you enjoy about them. This approach can provide valuable insights into courses and careers that will allow you to do more of what you actually like.

0:45 – Recap of Episode 100 and the importance of understanding VCE

In the last episode I shared some episodes where I explain key aspects of VCE so that you can really understand the system you’re working in. If you’re stressed at all about VCE, I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode first.

2:27 – The significance of identifying your favourite subject

I discuss why pinpointing your favourite subject—and what you like about it—can guide your decisions about future studies and careers.

6:00 – My personal experience with subject preferences and career choices

I share my journey of loving maths but not feeling great about the typical career paths everyone was suggesting, like engineering or accounting.

9:50 – The importance of understanding what you enjoy in a subject

I delve into how recognising the specific topics or skills within a subject you enjoy can open up a broader range of course and career options that will actually suit you better. I encourage you to take time to reflect on your favourite subjects and what you really like about them so that you can find courses and careers that will allow you to do more of what you like.
