John/Jean
You are 17 years old and planning to leave school at the end of this year. You’ve had a part time job working at a Computer Assembly factory on weekends. Although you are doing fairly basic jobs there, you have a passion for computers and are good at problem solving when a unit isn’t working. You’ve developed a name for yourself with your ability to fix problems at the factory. Several people have told you that you could have a future as a Systems Analyst or in some other more advanced field working with computers, but you don’t enjoy school, and generally feel bored with the studies you’ve been doing. You’d rather be fixing computers. Your 19 year old brother Sam has a full time job working as a shop assistant in a convenience store, and you envy the money he earns. Also, you kind of look up to him, and would like to have more of the lifestyle he has. You like Justin/Justine, and have agreed to talk over your future with him/her, but it’s hard to see why you’d want to stay at school right now. Consider their suggestions and notice how you feel as a result of their consulting.
Choose either of the 3 Justine/Justin roles, which ever suits you best:
Justine/Justin
You are the manager of a Computer Assembly business which designs, assembles and installs leading edge computers for business and home use. As your business expands, you are increasingly interested in developing backup support services for customers; essentially moving you into the systems design and analysis area. John/Jean is one of the young part time (weekend) workers at your factory. He/she has come to your attention because of an extraordinary ability to detect and solve both software and hardware problems. She/he is also a hard worker and gets on well with other workers. You’d like to have Jean/John on board as a systems analyst at some future time. You can see her/him developing her/his skills dramatically with a good tertiary training (at least two years). You believe that this is a promising future for him/her, and want to encourage her/him. Remember the principles of good consulting!
Justine/Justin
You are a teacher of Secondary School Technology studies, and Jean/John is one of your most successful students, and also one of your most frustrating. She/he tends to find ways to turn the classroom into an entertainment centre, tampering with the computers etc. You can’t help liking her/him, but also wish he/she would take the class more seriously. You’ve heard that she/he has a part time job working assembling computers, and is planning to leave school at the end of the year to work there full time. You believe that if she/he could apply her/himself to study, she/he has a great future as a systems analyst or in some management position in the computer industry. You’d hate to see him/her “throw away” the opportunity. You believe that there is a promising future for him/her, and want to encourage her/him to stay at school and get tertiary training in computers. Remember the principles of good consulting!
Justine/Justin
You are John/Jean’s parent. You have two children. Your 19 year old son Sam works as a shop assistant at a convenience store. 17 year old Jean/John wants to leave school and work full time at the computer assembly factory where he/she works on weekends now. You know that Jean/John is well liked at the factory, and has real ability with computers. You’d like to see her/him stay on at school and do a tertiary training course to give her/him a professional background in computer work. You believe that this would give him/her a really exciting future doing work she/ he loves, and earning much better pay than assembly line work. Unfortunately, Jean/John says he/she is thinking of leaving school at the end of the year. You believe that there is a promising future for him/her, and want to encourage her/him to stay at school. Remember the principles of good consulting!
