«I am interested in the human psyche»

Jonas Zollinger, 15, from Wädenswil ZH knew early on what profession he wanted to learn. After the taster apprenticeship, however, he was suddenly unsure. He has now found his dream job as an EFZ healthcare specialist in psychiatry.

My father is a carpenter and I also wanted to become a craftsman. During the taster apprenticeship, however, I realised: that's not it. I also had a taster as a structural draughtsman, thinking that I could later become an architect. But after sitting at a computer for a whole day, I didn't like this profession either. In the middle of choosing a career, I didn't know what to do. How could I find an apprenticeship if I didn't know what I wanted?

My mum then gave me the idea of trying a career in nursing. I like working with people, I'm interested in the psyche and I also like philosophising.

The taster apprenticeship at the Sanatorium Kilchberg psychiatric clinic was great. I received positive feedback, applied and got the apprenticeship. Now I'm looking forward to the apprenticeship. Maybe I can become a paramedic later on. That's also a dream job for me.
