As your kids approach university age, it’s time for them to start thinking about what career path to follow. After all, how can they choose a college major if they don’t even know what career they want in the future? Here are some ways that you can help your kids get the clarity they need to pursue the right college major.

Time For a Sit Down

Spend some one-on-one time with each of your kids and ask them about their interests. If they can’t give a straight-up answer about what fields of work interest them, then ask them about what school subjects interest them as this could narrow down their options.

Discuss Finances

Whether we like it or not, earning potential in your job is important as it impacts your quality of life. When evaluating different career options, it may be important for your kids to consider their financial aspects in order to get a clear picture of the life they want.

Consider Their Talents

Another piece of advice to give your kids is for them to consider their talents and perhaps find a career based on what they’re good at. Because jobs will take up such a large portion of their time, it may be preferable for them to do something they excel in rather than struggle.

It is always hard for parents to see their kids head off to college. They realize that their little babies have all grown up and are ready to take on the world themselves. Okay, the last part might not be entirely true.

Even after leaving their home to attend college, kids still depend on their parents, and we are not talking just about money. They also turn to them when their life presents them with a situation they haven’t encountered before.

TikTok user The Leighton Show recently posted a series of videos in which parents shared all sorts of unusual questions their college kids asked them. And they are comedy gold.

For example, one parent shared that their kid sent them a text message to ask for their shoe size.

Another college kid asked their parent how to take the clothes out of the washing machine.

Posting this again for all the parents who just dropped kids off at college #teenager #text #college #freshman #funny

The Leighton Show managed to put together several video compilations of these funny questions, and each is better than the next one. One college freshman wanted to know “if Italian was a language”, while one mom received a call from her college daughter who wanted to know how she makes pancakes round.

So, don’t feel too bad about your kids leaving for college. As you can see from these videos, they might live away from home, but they still need their parents.
