Description
Book Introduction
“I must be the master of my dreams!”
Professor Lee Chan, an expert in career and occupation education at Seoul National University, My Dream Finding Project for Youth I want to find the job that is right for me and the studies that I need. Seoul National University's Career Lecture for Today's Successful Teenagers Career exploration is not simply about choosing a job to make a living; it is an important process that determines the direction of one's life. However, many young people today become adults without exploring their future career paths, as they are obsessed with studying only for entrance exams. For such youth, Seoul National University career education expert Professor Lee Chan stepped forward. As the director of the Seoul National University Career Development Center, the author has provided clear solutions to Seoul National University students' major selection, career concerns, and job preparation. Based on that experience, I organized the data and experience from that time and put them into a single book, “This is My First Career Path,” so that young people can read it in a fun and easy way. "What should I do if I have nothing I want to do?", "I'm not good at anything, will it be okay?", "Is it okay if I just follow the studies the adults tell me to do?", etc. 『This is My First Career Path』 is divided into three stages of quests to provide answers to career concerns that everyone has experienced at least once. As you complete the given career quests one by one, just like in a game, you will naturally discover a side of yourself you never knew existed, and you will be able to proactively find a career that excites you and even a course of study that suits it. If you're a worried teenager who's worried about not having something you like, a smart teenager who wants to study for the future, or a special teenager who wants to lead a life of their own that no one else can live for them, take your first step into the exciting game of career path through this book. |

Publisher's Review
“Find your own potential that Korean, English, and math don’t teach you!”
My future self, created through reading, writing, and thinking
"What is your dream?" There comes a time in everyone's life when they have to answer the question about their future aspirations.
Even if it was absurd, everyone will still remember the thrill of filling in the blanks.
So, what are the dreams of the youth who will lead our society's future? Shockingly, according to a survey conducted last year by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training, four out of ten middle school students in Korea responded that they "have no desired job."
While the academic fervor surrounding college entrance exams and advancement is growing stronger day by day, the will to actually consider a career path is greatly diminished, and the number of students who view themselves as mere "study machines" is increasing.
It's a serious problem that more and more students are becoming frustrated at a time when they should be gaining diverse experiences, gaining the confidence to take on any challenge, and exploring a wide range of possibilities.
The experience of exploring one's career path, discovering one's true self, and sketching out a life sketch of what kind of work one will do to cultivate that self is as important to teenagers as getting good grades.
"This is my first career path" introduces the world of career exploration to young people like a fun game, with the motto "Exploring my first career path in my life."
We offer a step-by-step guide to help you discover the career and study that's right for you, including a variety of tests that can help you discover your personality type, interests, and special skills.
In addition to reading along with the guide, we have included a learning appendix that expands your thinking by writing it out yourself.
Professor Heo Jun-i and popular professional figures such as Son Heung-min provide useful career experience information for career exploration in an interesting way.
In addition, we collected the career concerns of actual teenagers and solved them in a mentoring format to add empathy and practicality.
“Let’s challenge ourselves differently and grow in our own way!”
With solid mentoring from the country's top career education experts
Quickly resolve the daunting and difficult task of career exploration!
The author, Professor Lee Chan, is a leading expert who, along with his father, Professor Emeritus Lee Moo-geun of Seoul National University, has compiled Korea's vocational education over two generations and designed various drafts of career education.
We have been working to address concerns about career paths and occupations that change throughout the life cycle, not only by researching programs that enable students to explore their majors, careers, and career paths, but also by implementing vivid, on-the-job training for adult career development.
The most important value in career exploration chosen by the author is ‘resilience.’
Gain resilience and confidence by experiencing the world of diverse careers and occupations firsthand.
"This is My First Career" guides young people into the world of independent career exploration, fostering resilience and confidence.
As the biggest reason many young people lose their dreams is 'I don't know what I like,' Part 1, which opens the book, helps them first understand their personality, special skills, interests, and values through self-exploration.
In the following part 2, we will introduce the vast world of careers in a concise manner so that you can find a career that perfectly matches the characteristics you have explored above.
In the final third part, we introduce practical study methods to go beyond simply exploring your dream job and make it your true future and dream.
As you complete each quest given in each chapter, 『This is My First Career Path』 transforms from an ordinary book into a special strategy guidebook that you created yourself through your own thinking and consideration.
With this guidebook, which contains the dream paths you've drawn while exploring the world of careers, you'll find the true treasures of life that Korean, English, and math don't reveal, and the path to becoming a shining adult is open.
Just by completing this one book, you will gain a wealth of experience in your career path and find yourself one step closer to the future you have longed for.
