Helping Your Son or Daughter Choose a College MajorIf you are the parent of a college or high school student who is having difficulty deciding on a career path and choosing a college major, you are not alone. Students today are more confused than ever about the direction of their career and their education. The job market has changed significantly in the last 10 years and the general population has been unable to keep up with these changes.
College is expensive. Doesn’t it make sense to know what you are investing in? In addition, the students feel lost. If they better understood their options, they would be more decisive, more driven, and more successful in their academic pursuits. Having a career choice gives a student a goal, even if that career path changes later. There are literally thousands of career choices and many are highly specialized. The first step toward success and happiness in one’s career is to be able to work at something that fits well with his/her personality. There is no greater motivator. Our methodology is driven by our experience as executive recruiters. Our team of professional recruiters has worked in the career industry for many years and we've interviewed thousands of people for hundreds of positions across a variety of industries. We know what companies look for in terms of skills and educational backgrounds. This is "real world" knowledge that students may not receive from their school's guidance department or from their freshman year experience in being "undeclared." We combine our knowledge of current trends in the job market with our experience in personality/career matching assessments to help students narrow their career options and choose a college major that will serve as a strong foundation for their future. This service has made a real difference in the lives of many people – both students and parents. |
