ACJC J2 parents talk

Attended a talk at ACJC for J2 parents. Feels very overwhelmed by the workload and pace that my daughter will be working thru! Hope I can be a good support to cheer her on in this race. One perspective that a teacher shared with us regarding career guidance opens up my perspective on how I should help my kids in this generation and time. In the past, people tend to stay in their line of work all their life. Now the trend is that one is expected to hold at least 4 jobs in a lifetime! She gave the example of a person graduating and say work as an engineer. After a few years, he might face retrenchment. Then he might sign up as a teacher then pursue Master/Doctorate and end up as a scientist. If this prediction is correct, our kids today need to be very adaptable to flex with the situation and have a heart to learn and keep progressing! Sorry kids... i don't think you are going to have it easy. But with proper attitudes in life, you can with God's Grace!
