I understand how hard it is to navigate your early career.
I got terrible career counselling in high school. It was superficial, cookie-cutter stuff, based on little more than my school grades and a brief discussion about things I was interested in. I started three different degrees in my early twenties trying to work out what I wanted to do – engineering, then law and then science. None of them felt quite right.
Eventually, I found my way to a career that I loved, and I reinforced my qualifications for that work by completing three master’s degrees at the world's top universities - Cambridge University (UK), the London School of Economics, and The University of Melbourne.
But I wasted a lot of time and money in the process and I don't want your teen to make the
same mistake.
