Your talk regarding picking a career route after high school will be

based on your friend's knowledge of his natural abilities, interests, and

gifts. He must also be aware of his social strengths and the academic
courses that pique his interest. He may also use an aptitude test to identify
his areas of strength.

When he informs his parents that this is the career route he has
chosen, he should always respect his parents since they are deserving of
it. Being rigid is not the same as being disrespectful. Be specific about
this.

questions in stride. He must do his homework to ensure that he is
prepared for the talk on time. They could learn about him devotion to and
enthusiasm for your profession from a brief conversation .Keep in mind
that his parents desire his success. Therefore, if he decide to pursue and
succeed in a profession that matches his talent and inclination, his parents
would also be the happiest people in the world.
