In choosing a profession, the role of the parent should be guiding

 

Adolescents are often guided by stereotypes and not knowing the specifics of the orientation of the profession, they advise children to choose a prestigious profession in their opinion. The parent's role in choosing a profession should not be coercive, but guiding. When making a decision, it is very important to distinguish the cause from the remedy. First you have to choose a profession, then a University.

 Gayane Davtyan, a member of the board of the NGO "Center for Vocational Orientation" presented the features of choosing a profession.
