The closer the graduation class is, the more students and their parents start to worry about the question “Who to be?”. Psychologists or teachers who are perfectly familiar with the character and academic performance of a graduate, as well as career guidance specialists working in employment services, can suggest how to choose the right profession. Parents, too, should take this matter seriously to help and support their child.
Instructions
Step 1
The choice of a future profession is limited by the child's intellect, abilities, interests, health, temperament and school performance. Naturally, the wider the range of suitable professions, the easier it is to choose what you like. Considering all this data, even before the start of classes in the final class, parents and students need to sit down and think about which professions are suitable in your case.
Step 2
Having limited the range of specialties by the first signs, you should make a list of them and consider it in more detail. Many personal factors can prevent your child from becoming an expert in a particular field. For example, his academic performance allows him to enter a medical school, however, he definitely cannot withstand visits to the anatomical and will faint at the sight of blood. Or it may turn out that a certain profession will arouse a strong interest in your child, but it will be beyond the range of his possibilities due to grades. This will be a good incentive for the student to study well all year and correct the situation.
Step 3
Important factors that determine the popularity of a particular profession among adolescents are the size of wages and the prestige of the profession. Guided by them, the child can choose a specialty that is not suitable for him. In this case, it is worth trying to take several tests for career guidance, which can be found in the books of tests on psychology, in order to identify the range of his interests. If the chosen profession belongs to such a subject that the child is not at all interested in, he should point this out. For example, a translator is a prestigious and very interesting profession. But if your student does not like foreign languages, he will not become a translator.
Step 4
The next important point is the demand for the profession. In order to find out which specialists will be snapped up in the labor market in 6-7 years, you can study the forecasts of sociologists, economists, etc. It is also worth looking at the demand for certain professions now - just look in a newspaper with ads or an employment service. This will help you to really look at some specialties for which the need for workers is less than they graduate from universities.
Step 5
Another way to find a profession is to follow in the footsteps of your parents. In this case, the child will receive good opportunities for a good start - parental support, connections in this area will help him get started. In addition, professional dynasties always command the respect of the people around them.
