Student Special

Do you have a son and daughter (ages 17-25) who appears confused, lost, or without direction in terms of their educational choices, career, or work? Perhaps you are in the process of spending $40K-60K for the university education of just one child, and they come home and tell you they hate their first year of a university program selected on the basis of what their high school guidance told them would lead to hot job prospects. What do you do? Perhaps your child has graduated from college or university and is not motivated to find a job in their field or doesn't like the field they've graduated into it. Has your investment gone to waste?

Many parents in these kinds of situations have sent their children to George Dutch for analysis and assessment. George has had considerable success matching young people quickly with a career path that gets them motivated and keeps them focused on attaining a specific career goal.

George will spend 1-2 hours with your student in an natural talent assessment interview. He will then prepare a clear and concise report that identifies and defines their talents and matches them with specific careers and educational programs.

Give your student a plan - a solid foundation on which to build career choices.

And give yourself peace of mind.

Here's what one mother had to say about the Student Special. The mother sent her 17 year old daughter to George when she came home and announced her intention of taking a course in Early Childhood Education at a local college based on the advice of her high school guidance counselor. Her mother intuitively knew this was not a good choice and encouraged her daughter to get an independent opinion. The mother was worried her daughter would end up the same way as a cousin, who had graduated high school a few years before as a top scholar, went on to university, took Archaeology (which held no interest for her after the first year), graduated, and was now profoundly unhappy working in a bookstore, with no prospects for improvement.

"She came home from school one day at 17 and she had to decide on the courses that would carry her through to university. Well, I had seen how quickly and frequently her choices changed and knew full well she wasn't capable of making a decision that would effect the rest of her life at that point. I was afraid she would trudge off in the wrong direction and invest the next five or seven years and end up in a field she wasn't necessarily suited for. I just wanted her to be open-minded and keep as many doors open as possible, so I asked her to go and visit George Dutch." "She did that and he responded a short time later with a written report. And what that did was open her eyes to other possibilities and entertain the notion that she had talents that were farther and wider than she could possibly imagine. She won't understand for a number of years yet the value and benefit of that. But in a short time, I saw things turn around for her. She got a summer job in a field you suggested and had a ball. She excelled in it. Now she's following a plan that will end up leading her to work that is her true passion rather than the narrow scope she would have followed if I had not paid for her to see George." "I personally think that all young people faced with those decisions early in life should get some career counseling. It would be ideal if they could get it in the education system but not all career counseling is equal. The only option teenagers have now is to consult with the guidance counselors in school who are only equipped to advise on where the jobs are. What's that got to do with what your talents and passions are?" "What I want to share with parents is the understanding of the nominal fee that would cost them if the child ends up making the right choice - they're going to get that back tenfold because the kid is going to be taking courses that lead to that job rather than waste a higher university education."
