Many parents feel overwhelmed when their teen is getting close to graduation and still doesn’t have a clear plan for what comes next. In this episode, we talk about how to help your teenager make real, informed decisions about their future — whether that includes college, work, training, or another path.

We explain why most high schools focus on college admissions instead of life outcomes, why that leads families into expensive mistakes, and how to flip the process so your teen chooses the right path based on their goals, needs, and the kind of life they want to build.

You’ll learn a simple framework parents can use to help teens:

• Understand the difference between choosing a major and choosing a career
• Clarify what they want their life to look like before committing to college or debt
• Use the Degree Free Four: income, location, work environment, and schedule to find careers that actually fit
• Build direction and confidence instead of rushing into the wrong decision
• We also talk about why debt limits options, how to avoid pressure-based decisions, and why teens don’t need all the answers yet — they just need a plan that moves them in the right direction.

This episode is for parents who want to support their teen with clarity, logic, and real-world thinking instead of guesswork and stress.
