[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is sad that we as parents are so worried because our kids are worried because they dont know what they want to be when they grow up. Our system is wrong. Sure. While 20% or less of kids know exactly what they want to do at 17, this is not normal. It perfectly ok to not know what you want to do. Specially with boys. Their interests and drive will change as they mature. Typically several yrs after girls the same age. Don’t pressure your kid. Incentivize him to learn about different industries, jobs, etc. He likes science? Tell him to go to YouTube and search for jobs related to science. But dont be to specific. He will find himself. College is changing too fast with the way AI is moving forward. Getting your to kid to understand that Learning how to learn is the best suggestion I can give you for college. Regardless of major. [/quote] It's not normal in America. It's the norm elsewhere (England, Australia) where you have to know what to do going into college. But, in the US, I would focus on the required classes the first two years giving a student time to sort their interest.[/quote]
