I hope you had a safe and relaxing spring break. The last time I wrote I said I would tell you how to help your student figure out what to major in at college. Here are two steps to do that.
1. Download the 3 Circles worksheet that’s on our home page at www.Whats-Your-Major.com. Spend time with your student challenging him or her to drill down to find answers to the 3 Circles.
2. Go to
http://www.insidejobs.com/careers?arts-and-entertainment=high&problem_solving=high. That site has numerous drop-down menus that students can use to identify the best choices for them. You can use the results of the 3 Circles exercise at this site.
You will find a wide array of career options. Please note that a 4-year college degree is not required for every job. If your student is really confused, you might have him “try on” a couple of career choices to see if they’re a good fit.
As we move toward summer, remember that summer is the perfect time to help your teen get clearer about what to study in college. We’re here to help.

P.S.: Please pass this email along to any friends or family members who have students searching for direction. With your help, we can make this part of the college process a little less painful.
