Its always tough, I've always called kids between the end of high school and the first couple of years of university the wandering generation. Most don't know what they want to do with the rest of their life career wise.


Hell I didn't even know.



You can't really push your kid into a career choice, because they will fail badly if its a miss.
I guess the weirdo question is, are there not counsellors that they have access to at the university? Just someone to sit down with and not discuss specific careers, but the inability to decide on a career?



In my day, we used to take a year off of university and try things. I tried trades, I tried high end retail. And yes, I had tried the Army before all of that, and probably would have made it a career (I regret to this day) if we weren't treated so badly.


But I think that before your kid can decide on a career, the lack of ability to decide on a career should be addressed.


Just my two cents.
