College Majors Should Align With Skills and Infuse Technology

In this episode, we explore how to help your student choose a college major that aligns with their natural skills and interests while preparing them for a tech-driven future. We discuss why it's crucial to look beyond just passion and consider aptitude, market demand, and how technology is reshaping every industry. Learn how traditional majors are evolving to incorporate tech skills, why computational thinking matters across all fields, and how to encourage your student to build a foundation that's both meaningful and marketable. Whether your teen is drawn to the humanities, STEM, business, or the arts, this episode will help you guide them toward a major that leverages their strengths while keeping them competitive in an increasingly digital world.
