DESTINY TRUST SCHOOL DIRECTOR’S CAREER TALK.
Presented to Grade Seven Learners!
Theme: Dream Big, Work Hard, Never Give Up!!
Many years ago, I worked as an Assistant Medical Laboratory Technician in a Government Hospital. The government even gave me an opportunity to continue studying Laboratory Technology at Ndola Central Hospital.
Most people thought I would become a Medical Laboratory Technician. But I asked myself one important question:
"What if one day I cannot find a job?"
I wanted a career that would give me practical skills. I wanted a profession where I could create my own work if no one employed me. That is why I chose Electrical Engineering.
Today, if there is no company to employ an electrician, he or she can still repair houses, install electricity, fix machines, start a business and earn a living. That decision changed my life.
Lesson for you:
✓ Don't only choose a career because it sounds nice.
✓ Choose something you enjoy and something that gives you useful skills.
✓ Skills can feed you for the rest of your life.
REQUIRED SUBJECTS FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
For Electrical Engineering, the most important subjects are Mathematics, Science, English, ICT and Technical Drawing
✓ Mathematics helps you calculate.
✓ Science helps you understand how electricity works.
✓ English helps you communicate and understand instructions.
✓ Technical Drawing and ITC teaches you how to design, Read and use electrical plans for Renovations, Installations and Repairs.
The classroom is the training ground for your future career.
CONCLUSION
Never stop dreaming. Work hard. Stay disciplined. Trust God. "Your future is not decided by where you come from, but by what you choose to become." Thank you and may God bless you all.
