[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And how do you know that guidance counselors don't do this already? Don't most 17 and 18 yr old know it all anyway? [/quote] Just talking to kids and hearing about kids who graduated from college in fields that offer almost zero prospects for a decent job especially in a tough economy. Yep, 17 and 18 year olds [i]think[/i] they know it all and as a parent having to counter what counselors said is not easy. After all, what do parents know when it comes to the opinion of most teenagers? I know that I had a huge struggle with my children over what they should do when they went to college. They did finally listen to me - or perhaps others influenced them as well - and today they acknowledge I was right. But I know their counselors were no help in balancing their fields of interest with the potential for obtaining a decent job that would allow them to earn enough to live comfortably and pay their student loans.
