Students today face the challenge of entering a very<br />
difficult, constantly changing working environment. How<br />
can families help them with their decisions?<br />
••<br />
Identify skills. What are they good at? What do they excel in?<br />
••<br />
Explore goals and interests. What would they like to do? What<br />
are their interests? Leisure-time activities and hobbies may<br />
lead to some exciting career possibilities.<br />
••<br />
Think long-term. What quality experience (internships, parttime<br />
jobs) would enhance a resume and provide valuable<br />
insight and experience?<br />
Choosing the right career can be a daunting process. With<br />
an unlimited array of possibilities, students may have<br />
difficulty deciding the best path. Questions to consider<br />
range from “Has my interest in this area decreased, and<br />
should I change my direction?” to “I like so many areas.<br />
It’s hard to decide.” Change is the only constant. Be<br />
prepared for many questions and be involved in your<br />
student’s college life. Depending on the situation, you may<br />
suggest academic advising, career counseling or personal<br />
counseling for assistance.<br />
