The book is written for students, parents who would like to help their children and everyone returning to study and/or work. With lifelong learning in mind, we are all students, so everyone can benefit from the principles covered in the book. What led me to write the book? As a form tutor and head of technology at high school level for many years, it was part of my duty to counsel students on planning their education and careers choice. I found that many students had not given much thought or were not prepared in a structured way by the school to make important life decisions in these areas. I wanted to contribute to the development of our students across the nation as well as to provide a material that fellow professionals can use with their students.
