My son changes his mind about his ambitions more times than he has hot dinners – and he has sure had a lot of those. It does not help either that he is living currently in a region north of Sydney where unemployment is quite high – for local Australians that is – if you are a foreign student of asian origin you will have no trouble finding a job…as my son has discovered over the past three years.
He has been keeping himself busy with various courses of late and has now signed up to do a 12 week business certificate which sounds very much as though he will be equipped with the skills to go down the self-employed route. I know many people going to tech college and then starting up their own businesses from the home and it is relatively easy if you have a computer – your marketing is basically online-focused these days and you even design and buy your business cards online so even having basic computer skills can help you on your way.
This is all to tide him over until next year when he is threatening to join the police force. It is a pretty sad state of things when young people consider signing up for the police force because they cannot find work anywhere else. Personally I’m hoping he’ll find his niche first and become the next tycoon
