Transcript
00:00So we're here at Sir John Talbot School, Whitchurch, and GCSE Results Day, and we're with a few students.
00:07Introduce yourselves, what's your names?
00:08I'm Amelia Powell.
00:09I'm Kaylee Bennett.
00:10I'm Lucy Wayland.
00:12So, let's get into the mind of a young person in this day and age.
00:16What do you want to go on and do? What kind of careers are appealing to you?
00:22Hairdressing in on cruise ships, looking like travelling stuff.
00:25Oh, okay, very cool, yeah, yeah.
00:28Have you got any hairdressers in the family?
00:30Uh, yeah, a few.
00:31Yeah, yeah.
00:31With our maras and her mummies, so.
00:33Ah, perhaps they've been planting that seed, like, you know what I mean?
00:37Yeah.
00:37So where would you go on to study hairdressing, then? Where would that be after here?
00:41Um, at South Cheshire.
00:42Okay, yeah.
00:43Crew campus.
00:43Ah, crew campus? Is that specifically designed for cruise ships?
00:48No.
00:48No, it's just when he said crew, then, I thought, because you get cruise ship crew, don't you?
00:52So, cool. Well, good luck with that, yeah, you'll definitely get to see a few places, won't you?
00:56Yeah.
00:56Yeah, and what about yourself? Any ideas what you want to go on and do?
01:00Um, I was thinking of something to do with chemistry.
01:04Okay.
01:04Like, maybe pharmacy, of course, as well.
01:06Yeah.
01:06Something in that kind of range.
01:07Working in a lab.
01:08Yeah, yeah.
01:09With computers.
01:11So, what would your course that you'll be going on to, looking to go on to next, then?
01:16I'm doing A-levels at the crew.
01:18Yeah.
01:19College.
01:20And, uh, chemistry, maths, and computer science.
01:24Has that always been your thing, then, science?
01:26You've always been fast.
01:27It's always been my thing.
01:27Yeah, yeah, cool.
01:29And what about on the end, there?
01:30Uh, I would like to go on to performing and acting.
01:32Ah, okay.
01:33On cruise ships, or hopefully the West End, maybe.
01:35So, you can do the acting.
01:37On your day off, you can get your hair done by our friend here.
01:41So, what sort of acting is it?
01:43Like, theatre-y stage stuff?
01:45Yes, sir, maybe.
01:45Ah, okay, yeah.
01:47And have you done a bit of that at school?
01:49Yeah.
01:49I do also a club outside of school, and other dance activities and stuff.
01:53Oh, yeah.
01:53Give a shout-out to the club, then.
01:54What's that?
01:55Uh, Wads, Whit Church.
01:56I'm a shout-out for Attic Dramatic Society.
01:58Ah, that's great.
01:59Well, I always think that clubs like that are great, because even if you're not on a stage acting,
02:04a lot of the times, in a job role of any sort, there's an element of performance, isn't there,
02:09and confidence, and kind of...
02:11So, I'm curious, what...
02:13We're always hearing about AI, and, you know, you have to kind of look at future-proofing jobs.
02:20Has that kind of been on your radar when you've been, you know, thinking about what you want to go on to do?
02:25Not really, I don't think.
02:27No.
02:27Yeah, a little bit, but not like...
02:29Yeah, well, I mean, if the hairdressing world, you're always going to...
02:32I can't see robots coming to cut our air just yet, but there's always that kind of what jobs will still be around in the future, isn't there?
02:40There's always an element of that, but I should think what you girls are looking to do is be pretty safe.
02:46Cool.
02:46So, what's the plan to celebrate?
02:48You know, you've got your results.
02:49Is it kind of just a bit of quiet time with family?
02:52Are you all getting together with friends?
02:53Um, yeah, I'm going to a festival.
02:55Oh, yeah?
02:56Oh, wow.
02:57We go.
02:57Yeah, yes.
02:58Before we go.
02:59Yeah, fair do's.
03:00I honestly don't know.
03:02We kind of, my parents were like, oh, yeah, maybe we'll do something, but we have no idea.
03:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:07Go with the flow.
03:08Yeah, I have no idea.
03:09Yeah, yeah, sometimes that's the best way.
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:12Cool.
03:12Well, all the best in your future decisions, ladies.
