Those who go to school for engineering usually end up working as engineers. Those who go to school for accounting usually end up working in accounting. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. The rational part of a teen’s brain isn’t fully developed and won’t be until age 25 or so.Īdults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part. However - this is a decision that we make before our brain is even fully developed! Whether that decision led you to go into a certain university program, start a business or go into the trades, this is a decision that undoubtedly has a large impact on the beginning of our young careers. The decision on what to do after you graduate from high school. Have you ever taken the second to realize that the job/career you’re pursuing - has come downstream from a decision that you made when you were 17 years old? An example I’ve thought of lately is applying this to present-day career decisions.
