[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is my kid, currently a senior who is going in six months. I think the issue is that it’s such a big unknown, and such a big change, it’s hard for them to imagine. We did have to push her a bit to start the college visits and come up with a list but she did her own applications and has gotten into several schools. Now says she’s “dreading” it so I hope in the coming months after visiting during admitted students days and finally making a decision she will start looking forward to it. [/quote]

My senior DS is similar. One thing I’ve noted for him is that these days there is a lot of talk about kids finding their passion in terms of work and that’s great if you find something you are passionate about but it’s also okay to work to live not live to work, ie figuring out a career/job that is pleasant enough that you are good at that allows for reasonable work life balance - even if it doesn’t make insane amounts of $$$.[/quote]

+1.  This is what I tell my son, work to live not vice versa.  Wish I knew that in my 20s. [/quote]
