Career Consultation for Teens: Choosing a Major and an Educational Path
In 30 minutes, we review the teen’s interests and strengths, identify 2–3 realistic educational or career paths, and outline a clear 30-day action plan.
For families with teens who are struggling to choose a major, a college, or an educational–career
Signs that a career consultation
may be helpful for the family
may be helpful for the family
-
The family wants to understand the differences between pathways: college, university, bootcamps, trade schools, or a gap year. -
Conversations about majors or college quickly stall or go in circles -
There are too many educational options — and it’s unclear which ones actually lead to a strong future -
School counselors or friends share information, but not clear next steps -
The family sees the teen’s strengths but isn’t sure how to convert them into real directions -
It’s hard to understand where to start — courses, class choices, extracurriculars, projects, or a portfolio -
There’s a flood of deadlines and requirements, but no structured plan -
The teen doesn’t really know what majors exist or what those careers look like in real life
1) Identifying 2–3 directions that genuinely fit the teen
Majors, educational options, and possible career branches — with clear reasoning for why each one is a good match
4) Discussing how the family can support the process
Where healthy parental involvement begins and ends, and how to talk about the future calmly and without pressure
2) Reviewing the teen’s current academic situation
Workload, learning style, engagement level, strengths, and obstacles — everything that affects choice and progress
5) Recommendations on post-school pathways
College, university, trade school, bootcamp, or a gap year — we compare requirements and outcomes to help identify what fits and what doesn’t
3) Creating a 30-day action plan
Immediate steps after the consultation: what to explore, what to try, and which courses or activities to consider

Why the Consultation Helps
During the consultation, we gather key information: the teen’s interests, academic load, strengths, and the paths they’re considering
Then these options are compared by requirements — timelines, preparation, difficulty of admission, cost, and long-term prospects — to eliminate those that don’t fit
As a result, the family receives concrete next steps for the coming weeks, not just a general conversation “about the future.”

Now I have two directions that actually fit — and clear steps on what to do next.”

How the Consultation Works
Brief introduction and goal-setting

FAQ
Yes. That’s the core purpose of the session — narrowing options, explaining the differences between pathways, and identifying directions that match the teen’s strengths and interests.
We use a calm “let’s review your options” format — not interrogation. Teens find it easier to discuss their future with a neutral mentor, and the conversation usually opens up naturally.
Online information is scattered. During the consultation, everything is organized into one clear system: requirements, timelines, cost, preparation, outcomes — making it obvious what fits the teen and what doesn’t.
Both. We cover majors, educational pathways, and long-term options — from college and university to alternative routes.
No preparation needed. If you have grades, extracurricular activities, or preferences you want to share, you’re welcome to send them — but it’s optional.
Typically 40–50 minutes — enough to understand the situation, compare options, and outline the first steps.
Yes. At this stage the goal isn’t to choose a final career but to understand directions and requirements so time isn’t wasted later.
