What job/career would you recommend?

[Thingsthatgo]

DS is bright, predicted 12 9s at GSCE, he is fairly hard working.
He is not practical with his hands and he is not sporty.
He loves history and the sciences.
He loves working in a team, and is very confident- he loves drama and could give a speech to a massive crowd of people without hesitation.
He doesn't like 'trial and error' tasks, but enjoys researching and also coming up with creative ideas.
He reads a lot, and enjoys gaming.

Would you recommend your career to him? If so, what do you do??
Thank you

Bump...

Anyone?

There are plenty of jobs involving the sciences that history could link into, medical research perhaps?

He could look at the civil service fast stream and see if anything tickles him.

Also law, but can’t say I recommend that unfortunately.

I work in podiatry, so if he isn't great with his hands probably not the best job.But what about one drama therapy or something in education. (Although teachers are leaving in droves) Educational psychologist, or other form of psychology

Do not go into teaching, medicine or nursing at the moment. It’s just not to be done.

Thank you all for your thoughts. At the moment he likes the idea of studying history and doing a law conversion, but there are so many different careers out there that neither he or I have even considered.

@LondonQueen that's an interesting thought. Thank you.

Try this, but create an account for a better answer.

My brother read history and then joined civil service graduate stream, hs enjoying it.

I work in management consultancy - specifically IT, but there are multiple forms out there. The beauty of it as a career is that you can essentially go in whatever direction interests you and there's a huge amount of scope for e.g., travel and development.

If he's bright, able and has good soft skills, could be a possibility. I'd recommend getting a good first degree (ideally in the 'hard arts' if he is arts-focused, but it's fairly fluid), then perhaps looking at an MSc in something like economics, business development or a more technical subject such as computer science or data analysis if your son has the interest and ability. A language is ALWAYS useful.

The Big 4 have excellent, but highly competitive and difficult, grad schemes: they're bloody taxing, but worthwhile to have on your CV and opens up a lot of options, if you're prepared to put in the hard graft.

And this, but it’s based on a level subjects, but it’s very useful. You will need to make an account.

I know an archaeologist who lives his job. He doesn’t do ‘digging’ anymore but works for a firm where historical sites are found in areas of building development. He loves the research, writing and intellectual stimulation of his job. No idea of the pay but he seems very comfortably off.

Financial services

I wouldn't recommend audit itself exactly but it is really good for going into different businesses and seeing jobs you didn't know existed, and seeing industries you may not have considered before. Same as management consultancy really.

I think graduate schemes in big companies send you rotating round various departments, if he's even vaguely interested in business in general that might not be a bad thing to aim for.

I'm an accountant in a medium sized company and I love it because I can see everything that's going on.

This is amazing thank you all so much. So many avenues to explore.
