After all, the choice of a profession is the first and very important step in the life of a person, avoiding a graduate who can not escape it. From this choice, very much depends: not only his bright future, but also his moral state and spiritual comfort.
Why is it for young people the choice of the future profession - is this a huge problem? There are several answers to this question. In modern world there is a huge list of specialties, the older ones have completely disappeared, but new ones have appeared, not only teenagers but also their parents have not heard about them!
The new generation does not have the opportunity to get acquainted with the specialty of various professions, for example, as it was in Soviet times. All this is due to the fact that modern business does not allow intervention, most of the work processes are unrealistic to observe, since they pass on a thought level. For children this is completely incomprehensible, for teenagers it is vague, for graduates it is a kind of status, however, from the inside out.
Another important drawback of modernity is the lack of interest groups that our parents loved so much: various radio and technical mugs, circles of young photographers and journalists, air modeling and many others. Graduates do not have the opportunity to test themselves in vested interests, so they can not find a cushion. Schoolchildren can understand something only by the example of the profession of their own parents. But this is very little to determine the choice of their ownspeciality.
You can endlessly list all sorts of reasons, but it is more efficient to highlight possible mistakes that teenagers make when choosing future specials:
- children can choose the first, which will fall on the eye, a profession;
- Also, they pay attention to certain professions because they are sure of its solidity;
- or for a company with friends who have already made a choice;
- maybe they come from personal sympathy for people who represent a particular profession;
- retained outdated information about a possible specialty;
- unite the subject that was taught at school and the profession itself;
- they can not listen to themselves, they do not realize their skills and personal qualities;
- Do not attach importance to their physical abilities or shortcomings, which are also important in choosing a specialty;
- Do not know by what principle you need to choose a profession.
How to be then? How can we help our children to orient themselves in choosing a future specialty?
For this it is necessary that the characteristics of the profession fully correspond to the psychological qualities of the child. Specialty, in the first place, should interest the adolescent. Each profession assumes the presence of professional qualities in a person. When choosing a profession, you need to clearly understand whether the teenager has personal qualities that are necessary for a particular profession. The type of profession must fully correspond to the personal features of a person. In order not to miss in the choice of profession, you need to be able to know yourself.
This will come to the aid of testing, which today is successfully practiced by many higher education institutions, these tests are free and career-oriented. They will help to understand the high school graduate - whether it is business or is worth looking for.
This is the standard procedure and the answer is standard. It follows that for greater accuracy it is necessary to try psychological approaches of greater complexity.
If your child does not develop a certain interest to something, and teachers do not impose a craving for an object, his talents are deeply buried, then the problem of the future profession will concern parents as well. Daghezevists of special complexity with great difficulty cope with unconscious talents.
But if your child was an activist, most likely, it will be interesting for him to try himself everywhere, and there is a chance that he will get a lot. Such children are especially difficult to determine with the future profession, the tests here are meaningless.
It is necessary to try such a psychological method of cognition, as training. Having passed professional training, the child can get rid of doubts, the training will help in the most hopeless situation and in the most confusing situation. The coach will reveal opportunities, provide psychological assistance to the child and give an orientation to personal growth. Also, it will help to build a clear plan of action and will direct to achieving further results!
Remember also that you can not be aggressive if the child can not decide on the choice of the profession as quickly as you would like. You, the parents, should not press on, scream or punish. So you can only achieve that your baby will close in yourself! Be tolerant, help, guide, talk. If there is a problem, look for a solution, visit the training or go for testing.
