Make a career decision
Weigh a career or major decision deliberately — interests, aptitudes, pay, and the life it buys — instead of defaulting or chasing prestige.
Start with a conversation
Before day one, sit down together and show your child this sheet. Make it a team thing you’re doing with them, not to them.
- Name it — “This week we’re learning Make a career decision.”
- Ask first — “Tell me what you already know about Make a career decision.”
- Set the deal — a little every day for two weeks, and you both color a box each time.
Both adults agree — same script, every day
Say it often — redirect in the moment
Engaging them directly, again and again, is what gets you there faster. Keep these on your tongue all week.
- “Remember — this week we’re working on Make a career decision.”
- “Remember Make a career decision? Tell me what you know about it.”
- “What did we practice yesterday? Show me.”
- The Worked Example Study one done-well example closely before you attempt it.
