What students think
Did you know? According to behavioural researchers, we make several thousand decisions every day
Some of them we don't even notice, but with others we find ourselves thinking quite hard
when we become aware of their importance.
Sprachrohr asked around amongst students and asked: "What was the
most important decision in your life?".
Evelin Brodt
"Phew, I had many difficult decisions. But I think one of the most difficult was
the question of whether I should change secondary schools. And also whether I should move out, at 16 to go to
sixth form."
"Quitting my job without a new offer lined up, knowing that my savings would only last for a limited period."
"The most difficult decision for me was to talk openly with other people about my problems and show weakness, especially with people I wasn't sure would understand. But I'm very grateful for this learning process and was able to get a lot off my chest and form close friendships."
"The most difficult decision in my life was which school I should go to after primary school."
