As a family member, we know that your student's success in their career and life is very important. It’s important to us too; that's why we created this guide.
Caution: You may cringe when you hear the words...
“I want to change my major”
“I’m not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life.”
Your first reaction might be to encourage your student to stick with their first career decision. In reality, that may actually hinder their growth toward a career path that fits them. We recommend starting with a conversation.
