Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 10: careers, or a hobby and volunteering?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Training and education, costs, job prospects, salary, duties, advancement, then discuss your findings and what might make it interesting. An interview or a site visit needs your parent or guardian's permission.

Note. An interview with a professional, or a visit to a workplace, needs your parent or guardian's permission. So does an internet search, in the requirement's own words. Ask before you start rather than after.
