1. Happy at work?

Job satisfaction seems to have little to do with the salary. In several studies, secretaries, fitness instructors, priests and farmers have been found to be happy at work. What might these professions have in common? What could help an unhappy employee become more like them? Write a letter to the editor discussing these issues.

2. Small town life

You have recently spent a year abroad as an exchange student. Write about your experiences in your blog. Invent a title for your blog post that matches the content. 



4. Take a break

It is an increasing trend that many students who graduate high school take a gap year to work or travel before applying to university or other higher education. What do you think is the reason? Why are gap years attractive to high school graduates? Would you take a gap year after high school?

 
5. Careers of the future

As technology advances, the jobs of the past are no longer a certainty. According to research, those who study in schools now will hold jobs in the future that don’t even exist right now. What kind of jobs do you think the future will hold?


6. To take a job or not to take a job

As unemployment rates soar, many people seem to think taking any job, even outside the field of their education, is something everyone should do. However, others argue that working odd jobs is detrimental to finding a job within one’s own field. What is your opinion? Pick a side and defend your view.
