    Career Planning for Middle and High Schoolers (DF#196)

    Want to guide your child to careers that help them reach their goals? Check out our workbook set: ➡️ https://degreefree.com/book/ Want a custom career plan for your 18-20 year old? Apply for the Degree Free Launch Program: ➡️ https://degreefree.com/launch Helping your child explore different interests and possible career paths early on can shape how they see themselves and their future. In this episode, we share simple ways parents can help kids under 15 discover new skills, build confidence, and stay curious about the world around them. Many kids only know a handful of careers because those are the jobs they see every day. We talk about how to expand that vision through exposure, real life examples, and what we call vocational creativity, so they can imagine a wider range of possibilities without feeling pressured. You’ll hear ideas for using everyday experiences to spark curiosity, simple at-home activities like the Job Limit Inventory, and ways to support skill building and exploration now, before specialization becomes important later in the teen years. This conversation is for parents who want to open doors for their kids, encourage curiosity, and help them explore the world with confidence instead of feeling rushed to choose a single path too soon.

You’ll learn a simple framework parents can use to help teens: Understand the difference between choosing a major and choosing a career Clarify what they want their life to look like before committing to college or debt Use the Degree Free Four: income, location, work environment, and schedule to find careers that actually fit Build direction and confidence instead of rushing into the wrong decision We also talk about why debt limits options, how to avoid pressure-based decisions, and why teens don’t need all the answers yet — they just need a plan that moves them in the right direction. This episode is for parents who want to support their teen with clarity, logic, and real-world thinking instead of guesswork and stress.
