My 9th grader just took a career test and she got taxidermist. One of her friends got chimney sweep, one got trash collector and another got magician 😭 I have no words.

Let's also talk about when kids see plumbers, electricians, janitors or garbage people, and say, "I want to be that." the parents say, "no, that's a filthy poor person job."

8th graders? How the hell is a 13 year old supposed to know what they want to do with their life?

No 8th grader is going to pick an accountant. They all want to do something in gaming or sports.

Also most of the jobs they know are more like job sectors. Engineering. What type of engineer? Mechanical, architectural, marine? There are types of engineers

A lot of jobs are too complicated to understand at that age. There are grown adults who don’t understand how certain jobs work.

why are we acting surprised and aghast that 8th graders don't dream of being middle managers?? they want to have cool jobs, they're children. no amount of career aptitude tests will change that

agreed because we didn't even have an actual day for this stuff, if we did only a handful of people were actually allowed to check it out. I remember going to a "pathways day" in my senior year to ask

I’m an English major, and when I tell people that their first response is always “oh! Are you going to be a teacher?” …no I’m gonna be some flavor of writer/editor

they didn't even tell us jobs in the 90s,00s. It's so terrible. All the medical field jobs that make money but don't require college. why didn't anyone tell me. 😭

What possible system or educational choice better prepares someone for “VP of sales for the Northeastern region?”

Every day at school we should watch “a day in the life of-“ and have a different career be showcased. Maybe even have a suggestion box

oblivionwonder :
there’s also the “more money = good job” of it all. so many people go study to get a job in tech even if they have 0 interest because everyone around them goes “there’s good money in it”
