3 Tips For Helping Your Child Choose a College Degree

February 2, 2021 by Annie

Most parents can say that they want the best for their kids. As a parent, you’d like your children to be as happy as possible, particularly when it comes to their career. Many people believe that finding happiness in life depends largely on what career path you choose to take.

Even though it may seem like you have all the time in the world to choose your college major, the truth is that time slips through your fingers much faster than you ever think it will.

As parents, it’s important that we help guide our children in the right direction, such as suggesting they look in to an industry which is expanding and offering a great many new jobs, such as an Applied Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Information Systems.  By being a guiding light for them, we can ensure that they pursue their passions while also being able to put dinner on the table.

Take a look at some of the best tips for helping your child make one of the most important decisions of their life.

Help Them Identify Their Interests

Ideally, you should help your child identify their interests as early on as possible. Perhaps they express an interest in manufacturing industrial products. In other cases, you may find that your child’s ears perk up when you start talking about cooking.

Stay aware of moments when you notice they seem engaged. Suggest that this may be an area of interest for them to pursue as a career. If they seem receptive, don’t stop the conversation. Bring it up regularly, and encourage them to give it a try. Sometimes all kids need is a little push.

Check Out Local Colleges

Sometimes the idea of college may seem downright terrifying to kids. After all, they may associate college with older students who they don’t know anything about. It helps to take away the nervousness associated with going to a new school by stopping in a college and checking it out.

Why not scope out a local college by sitting in on some classes? They may get a better idea of what college is like, and the fear of newness will become less of a big deal.

Set Up a Job Shadow

Once your child has some kind of idea of what it is they hope to pursue, you should try to expose them to it as soon as possible. Try to arrange a job shadow with someone in the same industry. If you’re lucky, perhaps you’ll know someone in your immediate circle who could let your child job shadow them for a day. Otherwise, you may have to get on the phone and call different companies.

Some businesses may be perfectly fine allowing your interested child to shadow them for a day. However, not everyone may have the same enthusiasm. It may take a bit of time to find the right fit.

With enough encouragement and patience on your part, you can help your child choose a degree of interest. Remember, your child is much more likely to stick to their studies if they’re enthusiastic about what they’re learning.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
