Helping Teenagers

Eilene Zimmerman's Q&A on skill/career development and chosing the right ideas was brilliant. I wish someone had given me the same advice 40 years ago.

I see many teens who jump on the first career track that someone recommends just to avoid being directionless, only to find themselves miserable a few years later. If the parent is putting out all the ideas, you wind up with the parent’s dream, not the kid’s.
