college
Should I attend college? I like to help people and I love kids. I haven't figured out a career that is suitable for me. Can anyone help me?
There are many great careers for those who love kids and helping people! I love kiddos myself...I seriously considered a career in teaching, but since then I have been led another direction. Here are some options for careers and college majors I found online:
Careers
Teacher: Educate and inspire children in various subjects.
Pediatric Nurse: Provide medical care to infants, children, and adolescents.
Child Psychologist: Help children with emotional, social, and mental health issues.
Social Worker: Support children and families in need through various services.
Speech Pathologist: Assist children with speech and communication disorders.
Occupational Therapist: Help children develop the skills needed for daily living and learning.
Childcare Provider: Offer care and educational activities for young children.
School Counselor: Guide students through academic, social, and personal challenges.
College Majors
Early Childhood Education: Focus on teaching young children from birth to age eight.
Elementary Education: Prepare to teach children in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Special Education: Learn to teach and support children with disabilities.
Child Development: Study the psychological and physical growth of children.
Social Work: Gain skills to support and advocate for children and families.
Nursing: Specialize in pediatric nursing to care for young patients.
Psychology: Focus on child psychology to understand and support children’s mental health.
Speech Pathology: Train to help children with speech and language issues
Of course, you don't have to go to colleges, especially if you feel called to be a parent someday and maybe teach your own kids (I am homeschooled and I 100% recommend it!)
Feel free to reply with any questions or thoughts. I would be happy to discuss ideas back and forth with you in this chat to help you out.
