WHEN Millennia Institute student Siti Soleha Noorhisham, 17, was wondering what career she could get into in future, she found some answers in a new tool offered by her school.

The Web-based ecareers.sg, which required her to answer questions about her personality and interests, told her she could become a journalist or an anthropologist, and that she needed a diploma or degree in mass communications or the arts to get on either of those career tracks.

Armed with this information, she has now set a target for herself: She aims to do well enough in her A levels so that she can earn a degree in sociology at the National University of Singapore.
