Once you’ve found something you think might suit you, gather as much information on it as you can. Read up about the industry and the organisations involved, get hold of any information you can from those organisations about careers, and talk to anybody you can find with any knowledge of the area. If you’re convinced enough that this could be the career for you, you can either try to get a job that will give you a real taste of it, or perhaps some work experience or, if possible, do some volunteering in the area. This will give you a much clearer idea of what it’s all about, and help you decide whether to go for it.
