Understanding Your Gifts and Talents
When a college bound high school student knows her gifts and talents, she chooses a college major and career path on the basis of her gifts. Doing so leads to a more satisfying, fulfilling, and fun experience in college and career. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses his typical stories and anecdotes to explain the importance of understanding gifts and talents for college and career. This episode also explains a College App 101 service called the Career Planning Session, which is designed to help students and their families understand a student's (1) career aptitude and (2) educational opportunities associated with that aptitude.
