One of the best things a student can do this school year is start paying attention to themselves.

What subjects do they enjoy?
What problems do they like solving?
What comes naturally to them?
How does athletic or extracurricular involvement shape work interests?

Or....perhaps a better question is: "What activities make them lose track of time?"

Career exploration is not about asking a 14-year-old to choose one job for the rest of their life.

It's about helping them discover clues about who they are so they can make better choices about classes, experiences, college, training, and future careers.

This school year, encourage your student to become a student of themselves. The better they understand themselves, the better prepared they will be to explore careers that fit.

Back to School Career Tip #4

Ask your learner to determine what sort of problems he/she wants to solve or resolve.

Fixing bones? Fixing pipes? Fixing hearts and minds? Fixing potholes? And so much more!

Back to School Career Tip #3

Don't assume your best fit career is focused on the thing you're naturally good at doing. Instead, always consider what your HEART needs to do!

Want to introduce a teen to careers? Start with ONE simple conversation with a friend or family member. The easiest way to generate "interest" in careers is by listening to someone talk about the work they do every day! A 10-minute interview is enough!
