The requirement to choose a profession hits children suddenly, like a natural disaster. The trouble came from where they did not expect. Until recently, it was so interesting to fantasize about “What will I become when I grow up?”, But already at the age of 14-15 this question terrifies adolescents. 

After all, they still do not feel that they have grown, and the decision must be made almost immediately and, as it seems to them, for the rest of their lives.

Those units who managed to easily make a choice and believe in it feel lucky. And no wonder, because a lot of problems are automatically solved for them. Where to go? What subjects should I take? What is the best way to prepare for the exam?

People around them notice that these guys have increased self-confidence. Still would! They now know who they are. A future doctor, a future psychologist ... It's no wonder that their motivation to study suddenly increases. Parents no longer have to wring their hands and threaten to get homework done. 

The child himself enthusiastically studies the structure of the skull, derivatives, prepares for the Olympiads. Parental paradise is becoming available to some of us.

Social networks, parties, computer games - this is a gentleman's set of a modern teenager, an outwardly decent child of decent parents. There is no time or desire for something else. But he is always busy, as it were, with business. 

Embedding something else in his life is like putting a new satellite into orbit: colossal expenditures of energy, resources and desire that are not there. Vicious circle.

But without getting experience, it is impossible to know if you will like this activity. And time goes by. The closer the end of school, the more anxious in my soul, the higher the pressure from all sides. And the growing, according to the laws of physics, adolescent resistance: "Leave me alone, I'll decide later."

It is not easy for such children to find a job in life, but it will definitely be non-standard and very exciting. And necessarily at the junction of various directions. Finding something that unites interests is an interesting challenge in itself. 

If you are interested in sports and psychology - take a closer look at the profession of a sports psychologist. Strive to connect with people of different cultures and you have an inherent passion for research - consider a career as a specialist in intercultural communication.


Conflicting interests create more difficult tasks. And here it is important to focus on the abilities and characteristics of thinking and character. We will have to consider many different professions, including new ones that are just emerging. .

Bright talents are easy to spot. But few can boast of impressive poetry, drawings, success in sports or programming. And the A in school subjects was not a measure of ability. And then, if the child is significantly different from the parents, they are not able to adequately evaluate him.

The difficulty also lies in the fact that natural inclinations may turn out to be unmanifest only because they were not given room for development.

If there were no paints in the house, you may never know that an artist lives in your child.

It is a special pleasure to discover different abilities and characteristics. They do not need to be judged, they need to be happy. Otherwise, we form fears and self-doubt in children .

Often in the course of consultations with a specialist, parents and children are surprised to notice how differently they react to the world, perceive information, and make decisions. And if earlier it was a stress factor, now it becomes a reason for mutual cognition.

Children's ideas about life are formed under the influence of the movie screen. Therefore, the profession is expected to provide millions of royalties and vacations on a personal yacht, as representatives of show business and outrageous heroes of the gossip. We will not agree to less!

This infantile outlook on life forms a consumer society. It did its best in this respect. If the priorities of children are shifted towards a beautiful life, then they will not want to work either. For them, taking is good and giving is bad. And this imbalance in the worldview must be helped to overcome.


Yes, you need to strive for heights. But for this you have to make efforts yourself. There may be periods of lack of money in life, and this is normal. First, you should learn to invest strength, energy, time. Including in the development of the profession.

Help the children build a give-and-take balance. This will help them choose a profession that will bring both joy and money. The main thing is to prioritize correctly.
