August 14, 2024Pretty dry - I just read part of it. I think just taking a few tests online will help more than reading this whole thing.
I did like the idea of the 6 interests: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. My top 3 are definitely CES and online you can look up jobs that work best with your interests.

Got me thinking about the future, but not all of it was helpful.

3.5⭐️ - would be helpful if there was a workbook to go through instead of trying to take notes in the actual book. Good information to discuss with your teen about future planning.
