61 | How Can You Help Your Son Choose a College Major? | Career Planning for Teens

Is your son trying to decide what to major in—or wondering if he's chosen the right college major? Choosing a major can feel like a huge decision, especially when teens are being asked to think about a future career before they really know what that future will look like.

In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we're talking about how moms can help their teen and young adult sons explore college majors and career options without adding more pressure to the process.

We'll talk about looking beyond what your son enjoys to consider his strengths, job satisfaction, career opportunities, earning potential, job security, cost of education, and what the day-to-day work in a career actually looks like. I also share how we helped both of our sons get firsthand experience with careers they were considering—and why discovering what they didn't want to do was valuable too.

Whether your son is just starting high school, choosing a college major now, or already questioning the major he chose, he doesn't have to have his entire future figured out. We can help our sons ask better questions, gather good information, explore their options, and seek God's guidance as they decide what comes next.

🎧 In this episode: choosing a college major, career planning for teens, college planning, career exploration, job opportunities, college costs, preparing teens for adulthood, and helping sons make independent decisions.
