In today’s economy it’s hard to find a job, but what about the right job. Also, how do you determine what job fits you, especially if you are looking to get an education.

Do you want your child to go to college and wander from major to major, not knowing what to study.  I don’t know about you, but finances are not plentiful enough to just “do” college.  I want my children to learn something they can use, I also want them to do something that God has prepared them for, or given them the abilities to carry it out.

Now I know you have to work at it, God doesn’t just give it to you. But if it’s not a good fit, why waste your time. Act, Inc. is an online subscription that your children can work through to find out, based on their interests, abilities and skills, what profession may work for them.

Or maybe it’s not just for your children, maybe you are looking to change your profession and would like some ideas that are new. Find out if you need a degree, or do you need a technical school, can you get what you need at the community college, a 4 year college, online, etc.

Act, Inc. within their Discover program they also have a High School Curriculum Guide, it has 260 pages of curriculum to use with your high school student. There is a Mini-Course and several Activities, the activities consist of the following:

• Writing
• Math
• Science
• Social Science
• Career Planning
• Educational Planning
• Job Search

Within these activities there are several sub-activities that help with preparatory skills and skills to help identify your direction and what steps to take to get there.

My 17 year old son and husband have been working on this, and if they can do it, so can you. They are both outside hands on kind of guys, so it says a lot when they can work through paperwork. Upon doing the analysis of skills, the computer will generate a World-Of-Work map along with the lists of possibilities.

The Ebook and online subscription work together hand in hand, they compliment each other well. This would make a great semester or 1/2 year course for your high school student. I would use it in the sophomore year to give you plenty of time to get that direction set without scrambling in the last year or two.

To purchase a 3 month license is $19.95, or a 6 month license is $24.95, and the High School Curriculum ebook is included with the license.
