This person’s 90-day plan
A simple plan for the next 90 days, to test before choosing.
Pick two to test: teacher (elementary or secondary) and social worker / counsellor. Don’t decide yet.
Find one person doing each job (LinkedIn, friends and family, a school career office or a local employment centre). Ask them: what does a bad day look like, what do you wish you had known when you started, and what would you do differently?
Do 10 hours of the actual work for each, or ask to shadow someone for a day. Free routes: volunteer somewhere with the people you’d serve.
Several of your matches need specific grade 12 math or science, and missing one can cost you a year. Check prerequisites now. Already out of high school? Adult education or college upgrading courses can fill a gap.
Look up real pay for your province at jobbank.gc.ca, and ask people who do the job what they actually earn.
Retake this quiz after 90 days. If your code changed, you learned something. If it didn’t, you’re ready to choose.
