[quote=jjconcern]So much in my opinion rests on the individual student.  Some know early on what they are good at and what they have a passion for,  so choosing a college/university isn't as difficult as for the student who isn't really certain as to what career or job  they want to pursue or their talents aren't as obvious.  Another scenario is the unmotivated student who doesn't have the maturity or drive to seek out the information needed to make a choice.  As other parents replied, with the cost of an education and the potential for crippling student loans, there will be a need for some guidance,-meaning the amount that parents can spend on tuition and related costs.  They also should insist that their student research schools as this will make them more confident in their choice and decision making .  The most difficult situation is the necessity for parents to correctly guide the immature student who probably needs to go to a community college rather than going away so they have more time to mature and explore their interests.   I guess the best solution is to continually  help your child explore their talents and interests so that they have an easier time in deciding upon a career or vocation that suits them.  When they know what they want to do,  choosing a college or technical training is not so difficult. [/quote]
