"he's only in (soon-to-be) the 9th grade. just expose him to as many enriching experiences as you are able (museums--of all kinds, not strictly 'art', live theatre/concerts, free library events, documentaries, etc.) and let him enjoy his youth. make sure he's college-ready, then once he's there, he'll figure it out!"

"I have a soon to be 8th grader and we were talking about careers on day..he stated to me he no longer wants to be any of the 3 careers he liked in years prior and said he’s not sure what to major in in college nor does he have any idea what he would like to be… Would you have any idea of any books,magazine, test that we could look into with a list of careers to get him thinking. thanks"
