We push too hard and too soon, and few people going to college are ready to make decisions about their future without further life experience.
Career counseling has its place. A neighbor’s son was dissatisfied after the degree he chose and the job it led to after college graduation. He then became a successful car salesman. We seem to be rushing kids into adulthood and perhaps inappropriate decision-making way too soon. The adult brain isn’t fully formed until around age 25. It’s okay to take time to decide. -- Stressed-Out Students
DEAR STRESSED-OUT STUDENTS: There is much to be said for having a well-rounded education and not specializing at too young an age. It is very insightful of you to celebrate the fact that so many of what appeared to be your children’s failings ended up, one way or another, becoming some of their greatest accomplishments. Being patient and kind with ourselves will make us more patient and kind with students, allowing them to live the full experience of life.
