I don't know what I want to do in the future. | Lacking a clear direction is something many people face, and it's completely okay not to have all the answers right now. Are there any directions you've thought about so far? | I haven't thought about anything so far. | I suggest we start by evaluating who you are right now in terms of skills, interests, values, and abilities, as well as the context you find yourself in, to explore a series of future perspectives afterward. |
I have many areas of interest, and I don't know which one to follow. | It's normal to have multiple interests and not know which one is best for you. Sometimes, exploring different fields can lead to discovering the one that attracts you the most. Have you had the opportunity to explore each field in detail or try activities or projects related to these interests? | No, I don't even know where to start. | I suggest we start by evaluating who you are right now in terms of skills, interests, values, and abilities, as well as the context you find yourself in, to explore a series of future perspectives, such as suitable fields or professions. |
I'm thinking about three fields for my future, and I'm having a hard time choosing. | It's great that you have a few options for the future. This makes the career discussion more streamlined. What are those future fields, and why is it hard for you to choose between them? What makes some of them more attractive compared to others? | Well... I was thinking about psychology because I want to help people grow. But I know it doesn't pay well. I was also thinking about being a teacher, but... it's the same here in Romania; it doesn't pay well. And I was also thinking about IT because it pays well, and I could work from anywhere in the world. | Two important categories are already emerging: working with people (psychology, education) and IT.
When choosing the right field, it's helpful to consider both financial aspects and personal fulfillment. From this perspective, I suggest we look at how each field aligns (or doesn't) with your values and your future goa... |
I'm about to go to college, but I don't know what to choose. Can you help me? | Sure, I can support you in identifying options that fit your personality profile.

What exactly makes you unsure about engineering? |
I'm about to go to college, but I don't know what to choose. Can you help me? | What options have you considered so far? | I haven't considered any options yet. But I want to go because everyone in my family is a college graduate. | I understand that family pressure can be strong. Let's explore together what truly interests you and what you're passionate about. We can analyze different fields and study opportunities to find what suits you best. |
I don't know if the skills I have are suitable for the fields I'm interested in. | This is something worth clarifying. Knowing your skills is essential in career planning, but it's also helpful to know that they can be developed over time, and the job market is dynamic, so new professions that require different types of skills may emerge. What fields interest you, and what skills are needed? | I'm interested in psychology, and I know you need self-reflection skills, the ability to listen actively, empathy for others, and the ability to handle emotional challenges, like dealing with an angry person in dialogue. I'm also interested in law, and I know you need a lot of critical thinking, the ability to argue cl... | Thank you for the details. What skills do you think you have that match those mentioned earlier and what skills do you think you have or don't have that might make you think a certain field is not right for you? |
I don't know if the skills I have are suitable for the fields I'm interested in. | This is something worth clarifying. Knowing your skills is essential in career planning, but it's also helpful to know that they can be developed over time, and the job market is dynamic, so new professions that require different types of skills may emerge. What fields interest you, and what skills are needed? | Well, I'm not really sure what skills are needed for the fields I'm interested in: psychology and law. | Okay.

I suggest you imagine what these two professions would look like in practice and, while imagining, extract 2-3 skills that you would see as necessary. |
I'm afraid my child will make the wrong decision for their future. | It's normal to worry about your child's future and want them to make good choices. Have you talked with your child about their interests and the options available for their future? | Yes, but he just want to do whatever he feels like. | I understand your concern. It's important to find a balance between offering support and letting your child explore their own options. What would you like to do to help them make more informed decisions and discover their passions? |
Sometimes I feel that no matter what I want, it will never be exactly what I want because the people around me seem to influence me strongly. How can I balance what I want with the expectations of my parents or society? | It's perfectly natural to feel influenced by those around you, especially when your decisions have a long-term impact and particularly during adolescence. A first step to balance your own desires with others' expectations is to clearly understand what you truly want. Have you tried to clarify your values and what motiv... | I've tried to clarify my values, but I haven't been able to figure out what I truly want. | I understand, and this is quite common. I suggest we start with a deeper exploration of your values and what brings you satisfaction. Once you are more aware of these things, you will be able to communicate more clearly with your parents and others about why certain choices are important to you. This way, you can recon... |
However, I still have a fear. My parents don't accept anything I propose, and I don't know how to convince them of what I want. | It's important to know that your desires and aspirations are valuable, and finding a balance between them and your parents' expectations is a process that may require time and patience. Have you had the opportunity to discuss with your parents why you want certain things and how these align with your long-term goals? | I've tried to explain, but I feel that I'm not able to clearly express why they are so important to me. | Can you give me a specific example of a moment when you wanted to communicate what is important to you? |
What happens if after choosing a college I realize it doesn't suit me? | This is a valid question, and many people face such doubts throughout their educational journey. It's important to know that you're not locked into a single direction.

How do you feel, w... | I feel fear; the idea of making such a big change scares me. I've invested so much... | The feeling of fear is perfectly normal, especially when you've invested time and energy into something that initially seemed promising.

How can I learn more about the careers I'm interested in and others, and what each one entails? I haven't found any site in Romania that contains all of them... | It's true that it can be difficult to find a single place where all the information you need is gathered. However, you can use a combination of resources to get a clearer picture. What have you tried so far? | I've tried searching online, but most of the information is either too general or too technical and I don't understand it. I've also asked a few professors, but they didn't have much detail about the careers I'm interested in. | The internet is a vast network, and it's necessary to clearly define what you want to find out. Where have you specifically looked? Regarding professors, who do you think might have more information than they do? |

It's hard for me to think about action plans or how my skills align with the job market because I feel like I can't find what I'm looking for, and I'm afraid of making the wrong choice again. | By wanting to make a good choice now, it will be a much more informed one. What would make you feel or know that you've made the right choice? Is it something related to the professional role or the work environment? Or is it something else? |
I don't like my current job anymore, and I don't know what to do. | I understand that you feel lost and frustrated. Career changes can be difficult and can bring with them a sense of uncertainty.
