Kjell Helge Kleppestø It is interesting with the obligatory subject in Norwegian schools Vocational Choice. I think it is great that youth can explore their interests and strengths at school.

I also think it is important to prevent 'career shopping', where students consider what career paths are either cheaper, faster or closer to home, instead of inquiring into the life style that goes with each of those career paths. It is important for students to approach their career from a lifestyle perspective: Do I want to do something (like a store clerk, with a limited workday) or be something (like an artist, 24/7)? Do I want my personal appearance and demeanor to be part of the service I provide (like a lawyer) or do I want to make a product with a marketability that is fully independent of my person (like and industrial designer)? And such.
