I recommend building your future college experience, and future career, based on what you’re already the best at and what comes easiest to you. This is your natural competitive advantage and should not be discounted in any way.
To help you figure that out, there are many professional assessments that are usually fun to take and provide a wealth of insight. This is a much better strategy than using expensive college time to ‘figure out who you are’, in my opinion.
Here are a few providers for these assessments. I know they’re not free, but they all cost much, much less than a degree you don’t use or eventually find out that you don’t want to work in.
($129 with Zoom call interpretation)
(I haven’t found another provider who combines all of these tests.)
Includes The Following Five Reports:
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) Career Report
- Strong Interest Inventory® and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Combined Career Report College Edition
- Strong Interest Inventory® College Edition Profile
- Skills Confidence Profile
- Strong Interest Inventory® Interpretive Report
2. She seems amazing and uses one of the best assessment tests I’ve seen, the Highlands Test.
(I’m not sure how much she charges, but I think these are the best investments one can make.)
I would highly you connect with your high school counselor to get any professional assessments for free.
BYU – Idaho Career Center:https://www.byui.edu/career/
(They have a good career certification program, but I’m not seeing any pro assessments.)
BYU – Provo Career Center:https://careers.byu.edu/explore
(These guys have quite a lot of assessments he can take, but I’m not sure if he has to be enrolled there or not.)
