the Right
College Major Matters:

7 Reasons for Students and Parents to Consider for Greater Career Success
and Personal Satisfaction

THE PROBLEM?

Many high school students and their parents struggle with selecting the right college major. The decision is overwhelming, and the consequences of making the wrong choice can be significant. As a result, many students end up switching majors or graduating with a degree they're not passionate about.

The  College Major Coaching Program provides a comprehensive solution to this problem. As an experienced Career Coach, I work with your student to take 3 industry-leading career aptitude tests, then identify their interests, skills, and goals. Then, I help them explore different career paths and majors that align with their strengths and interests.  The entire College Major Coaching Program is illustrated below:

Here's How the College Major Coaching Program works:

A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR AND COACH ...

What Do I Do After High School?

What's my future, how do I get there, and who's going to help me figure it out?

Your child is about to make one of the most important, life, job and most expensive decisions of their life, a choice that shapes their career and their future, and almost nothing has prepared them for it. The wrong choice is not cheap. A four-year degree can top a hundred thousand dollars, and the wrong one costs more than money. It costs years, confidence, and momentum that are hard to win back. Yet most young people are sent to make this decision with no real guidance, no honest map of their options, and no real sense of who they even are yet.
 

This is where that changes. What you have found is a complete, step-by-step system, an Ecosystem, for figuring out what comes after high school and actually getting there. It is built on a simple belief that most guidance ignores: white collar, blue collar, and no collar are all valid, respected paths to a prosperous and meaningful life. The goal is not to push your child toward college. It is to help them find the path that truly fits, then give them the tools and the guidance to walk it. The ecosystem below gives you the processes, the guidance, and the roadmaps that lead to a successful outcome for your high school student. No one can guarantee a particular job or career, but the skills your student acquires, learns, and puts to use here will serve them for a lifetime.
