Educational Advising and College Counseling Saves Money, Time and Hardship for Student and Family

B.J. was a software engineering major at a major university. He had a very low GPA and was in the verge of failing. He was advised by his dean to leave the university. His family was devastated because B.J. was intelligent and an achiever who really wanted to succeed in his career. He felt that computer engineering was the wrong major and since his father was a computer science engineer, he did not want to admit to himself and his family that engineering was not his passion. His parents brought him to me and he went through a thorough self- assessment and a battery of tests. Counseling confirmed that he was in the wrong major, in the wrong school and wrong learning environment. The tests also validated his talents in visual arts and communication.

After the internship he realized he liked the work and went back to a small New England college to finish his studies and get his degree. He graduated with a 3.7 GPA and received several job offers
