Materi Debat 3
Many studies show that teenagers tend to be less precise when making
decisions, because cognitively the function of the precortical part of
the brain - which plays a big role in the decision-making process -
only develops in the late teenage stages, in their early 20s.
Independent decision making is a real developmental challenge for
adolescents. Even though teenagers can access a lot of information
that will enrich their thinking space, some abilities in considering
future prospects and processing positive and negative feedback are
not as perfect as adults. Teenagers tend to make decisions based on
experience, consideration of rewards obtained, and friendship factors.
Therefore, quite a few teenagers choose a direction because they
follow the choices made by their friends.
Therefore, as much as possible, parents are present to guide and
become "thinking colleagues" for teenagers. Accompany him when
making decisions and guide him to see problems from various sides.
Of course, not to force your will, which can actually cause new
problems related to the relationship between parents and teenagers.
Both parties, both parents and teenagers, should be aware of
generational differences that can influence decision making. In the
past, majoring in economics, communications, or medicine was the
prima donna, which many teenagers competed for at that time. But
now, there are many new favorite majors that previously lacked
interest, such as game design or illustration majors. Effective
communication is needed so that we can explain to parents about the
prospects for this 'new' job today.
while parents also need to understand that changing times can lead to
paradigm changes.
Recently, many teenagers have started to choose the 'Gap Year' option
by postponing their studies for at least one year, after which this time
is used to explore and establish themselves in a major. During this
time gap, many choose to do internships at companies that are in line
with their chosen major, to see whether this field is suitable for the
career they aspire to. There are also those who use the gap time to
prepare and study for the entrance exam for the department in
question.
Abroad, quite often this grace period is used for adventures around
the world as backpackers, looking for identity and so on.
Many things can be a variable of strength in a person, but in terms of
career choice, we at least need to understand what interests and talents
each of us have. What's the difference between the two? Interest
describes a person's tendency towards certain types of tasks and work,
whether they can make them feel motivated and enthusiastic. This
interest can help someone enjoy our work with satisfaction, even
though they encounter obstacles that usually occur in everyday life
When we talk about interests, we are actually answering questions
about the work we love (what we love). However, choosing a career
based on interest alone is not enough, because ideally someone also
considers what fields we have expertise in (what we can do).
This is where talent functions in career determination. Not only doing
something you like, but also something you are capable of doing, both
in terms of skill, skill and creativity.
The simplest way to find out a child's interests and talents is to
evaluate what areas the child excels in
Apart from that, parents can also evaluate which subjects we excel at
and what fields of work are associated with those subjects.
If you are still not sure, parents can also visit an educational
psychologist to be given an assessment of their child's interests and
talents. Psychologists will usually analyze areas of work that match
the description of the child's interests, intelligence, work attitudes and
personality, so that the recommendations given are comprehensive.
Parents play a big role in helping us determine job choices. In high
school, the presence of parents is an important element in guiding
children in making educational choices
So, parents simply need to be friends and give guidance to their
children regarding their future, rather than imposing the parents'
personal will on their children, because it is the children themselves
who determine the future, not the parents anymore.

Dalam soal jurusan kuliah, Sejumlah anak yang masuk jurusan yang
bukan ia minati, namun terpaksa masuk ke jurusan pilihan orang
tuanya dikarenakan anak biasanya mengalah demi tidak disebut
sebagai anak durhaka.
Tentu saja proses belajar sang anak dalam bangku kuliah tidak akan
berjalan optimal, karena ia masuk ke jurusan yang tidak ia cintai (tak
jarang anak mengalami drop out karena semangat belajarnya padam
di tengah jalan).
Dalam hal ini saya cukup banyak menemui kasus seperti ini : si anak
ingin mencoba merintis usaha sendiri (wirausaha), namun dilarang
oleh orangtuanya, dan lebih didorong untuk menjadi karyawan atau
pegawai (mungkin karena dianggap lebih menjanjikan kestabilan
penghasilan, dibanding usaha sendiri yang penuh risiko).
Kita, manusia, pada dasarnya bersifat protektif. Kita tidak ingin generasi
mendatang mengalami apa yang sudah kita miliki. Sepertinya orang tua
menginginkan yang terbaik untuk anak-anaknya; tidak ada yang salah
dengan itu. Mereka menginginkan lingkungan, fasilitas, pakaian, dan
makanan bergizi terbaik; yang terpenting adalah pendidikan yang terbaik
bagi anak-anaknya. Namun, hal ini sedikit lebih rumit ketika memutuskan
apa yang terbaik untuk karier anak-anak mereka. Sangat sulit bagi orang
tua untuk menentukan jalur pendidikan anaknya, apalagi ketika mereka
sudah putus sekolah, karena pada usia krusial ini, sebagian besar anak
belum menemukan minatnya yang sebenarnya.
Tak heran jika banyak mahasiswa yang tidak memiliki jawaban logis atau
memuaskan ketika ditanya tentang pilihan mata kuliah atau mata
pelajaran tertentu di perguruan tinggi. Sebagian besar mahasiswa
mungkin akan menjawab karena itulah yang diinginkan atau disarankan
oleh orang tua mereka.
bit more complex when deciding what is best for their children's
careers. It is very tough for parents to decide on their children's
education path, especially when they pass out of school, because, at
this crucial age, most children have not yet discovered their true
interests.
No wonder many students do not have any logical or satisfactory
answer when they are asked about their choice of a particular course
or subject in college. Most college students will probably answer
because it is what their parents wanted them to do or were advised
about it.
Parents have knowledge and experience about the world. They have
seen the good and bad situations and what they know about their
child's interests and talents to guide them to the career and path that
suits them best.
Parents recognise their child's special talents and guide them to a
successful career choices. However, this does not work out well every
time. Children become a rebel against their parents at some time
during puberty, when these choices need to be made.
Indeed it was a difficult time for parents when deciding their
children's careers.
Parents have desires and their children must achieve achievements
wherever they are, whether in sports, academics or career. But they
forget that a child can achieve a good career in any field just by
following his passion. The choice of career path should be left to the
students so that they can make their lives meaningful.

Selalu lebih baik jika orang tua dan anak-anak memutuskan bersama
karir yang akan mereka kejar. Orang tua harus membimbing anak-
anak mereka dan memberi tahu kemungkinan karier mereka. Anak-
anak dapat memperoleh informasi tentang minat mereka sementara
orang tua dapat memperoleh pengalaman praktis untuk mengambil
keputusan.

Parents usually try their best to provide the best care for their
children. Parents go through many hardships and raise their children
so that they can live healthy and happy lives. Every parent wants to
see their child settle well in life, but in this process, parents ignore
what their child wants
