Title: ASK THE HEADHUNTER Career advice for high school kids

Career advice for high school kids

A reader asks for help giving career advice to a high school kid who is about to enter the real world, in the September 1, 2020 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter. Question I know Ask The Headhunter is for adults, but can you help me help a good kid? My nephew will graduate from high school next year and I'm trying to give him some career advice and vocational guidance. (I'm the only adult family he's got.) He's not good with academics, but he loves computers, and I think he might do well with a two-year junior college Computer Science program.

It still gets your foot in the door, you can break out of the mold later on. Any entry-level R&S cert is good, really. We *all* need to start there, and then specialize later on.
