Soon reach the city, spoke with UNO Journal about the challenges facing today's adolescents when choosing a career. "The idea is to talk with youth about the completion of high school and thought of the possibility of building a life project. I want to make the picture of how higher education is and what has the world of work for young people, "he said.
She continued: "We know the reality of Argentina for youth, education and work, differs depending on the context, regions and social conditions, then we will try to make a screenshot and a comprehensive proposal on the possibility of building projects ".
"Young people today, is facing other challenges in relation to the past, when choosing a career?
"Yes. The context is of great uncertainty. Young people today are a sector that is a mirror of society in general. Because they show all the difficulties to be faced in the world of work and study. It is seen that the difficulties of the 80 and 90 have been expanded: there are problems, in principle, to finish high school, the ones who do get into a situation of great distress when thinking about a future in the possibility of working with educational inclusion success. The possibility of thinking the future seems challenged by the immediacy and the consumption by the mass media who have successful careers, with the possibility of getting out of the tradition. All this is much more pronounced than it was 10 years, then, are moments that make a boy have much time to think what decision will take.
- When you start thinking this decision?
"Usually it happens that in the absence of policies within the education system to address early as possible to start thinking about what I do with my life in the future, is a term defined in the last year of high school. There are cases and intentions but no general policy to be addressed earlier. Therefore, in general, kids get to think after the trip.
- Serving the shares offered by schools, such as bringing students to the Career Fair or to special activities or provide vocational guidance, in the last year or it is too near the time of decision?
"What tends to happen is that these spaces are containers of anguish and anxiety generated wondering what will I do after school. They are very useful when organized well and generate links professionals and advanced students of racing. All that makes kids go rearming social representations are racing.
New times
"The extension of compulsory secondary education," changed the expectations with respect to pursuing a career?
"With the changes in curriculum are two different situations. On the one hand, the polytechnic had made more students in high school and turned it in expectations to the upper level, which does not always mean that those expectations are realized. But there is a greater concern for higher education.
"There are certain races that are taking more widespread because there is an unmet need for professionals, is that conditions in a certain way, to young people when deciding what to study?
-In Counselling is a thought that just because there is a need for professionals in certain areas one must constrict their wishes to those races that are proposed with great job prospects. But on the other hand, if there are policies that have been declared in the direction of priority races where they do need to graduate. What happens is that these races usually come from the harder sciences and generate a acquired culture clash between middle school and what is required at the top level. This causes frustration in many young people early, where they feel they have no knowledge or social skills to tackle the race.
- Why are races which historically have higher tuition?
-Advocacy and public accountant are racing to enjoy social prestige, have much experience in the field of education. Are also generally older races so there is possibility that a professional of that branch is part of the family. On the other hand, it also happens that the universal come secondary to university populations that previously did not. So is the first generation to go to college, and social prestige, many young people opt for traditional courses under the idea that safe work and that will produce massive revenues.
