When selecting an employee, the employer likely will prefer the person with higher education. Therefore, it is better not to deviate from the pattern: “school – University – profession”.
Comment of the psychologist: on the one hand, for many parents and graduates of psychologically simpler and safer to choose the “classic” way – apply to the University. And then you can continue research activities to a say in fundamental science, etc. With other, not everyone sees the meaning of his life in science, and to find a job, if we are talking about stability, one who owns a working profession, it is easier.
without exception, parents want to be assured that their child “will not remain without a piece of bread” and “to contain”. Some moms and dads know exactly where to go and whom to learn.
Comment of the psychologist: We know a lot of successful examples of professions that are passed “by inheritance”: it often happens that the child is from a family of doctors easier to go to medical school, because he was a child “in the subject.” But, on the other hand, in today’s world everything is changing too fast to rely on the experience of the older generation. The graduate should listen to their desires, to understand their abilities and to assess them adequately. And to have at least a minimal understanding about the situation on the labour market. Based on all of this to make a decision.
many of the overseas graduates doing a year off in school, take a “Gap Year” – the period of time between school and higher education, and not go immediately to College, and trying to find myself, make new friends. Is it worth it?
Comment of the psychologist: After a hard study and preparation for the exam graduates often feel that they are “burned out”. But actually, a forced break can lead to loss of life dynamics: difficult to assemble, and to sit at the Desk. And new acquaintances you can make in College.
