Career counselor?

[Anonymous]

My son is in high school. He loves computers and enjoys ethical hacking and cybersecurity clubs at school. He really likes working with a team to solve the challenges in the competitions. He is interested in studying something computer-related in college but there's one big problem. He is a pretty bad math student. Even with the help of teachers and tutors, he gets Cs in math. I am also not a math person so I cannot help. He is an excellent writer and does well in history and English.

My question is would a career counselor be able to help him target areas to study in college in preparation for future jobs? I'm not familiar with career counselors and their roles. He realizes that he doesn't have the aptitude for computer science but could he be successful in other areas working with computers that don't rely heavily on math?

I would find a college counselor who will incorporate career planning in the work they do to support your son and his college process.

Has he considered Information Systems programs in Business schools?

Does IS involve less math?

I think career counseling is smart at this point. Almost all computer programs are going to assume a working understanding of calculus.
