they are passionate in everything? The school gave DD(oh-so-close-to)15 a long list of good careers, and are trying to pressure the students into figuring out what they are going to be, and she was interested in anything from urban planning to veterinary science to anthropology to marketing. She also has considered music and neuroscience as "tied in first", however all of these careers are so close together, it's hard to tell. And of course "go with what you are good at" and "go with what you enjoy doing" doesn't work for her- she's *good* at pretty much everything she does, and she enjoys anything relating to the sciences, anything requiring meticulous planning and scheduling, anything that would involve using history and geography, and so on.
My husband is gifted and was from a young age focused on what he is still doing today, (software) engineering. He has a very "engineering" and computer oriented brain, so it wasn't hard for him to decide. DD, however, has really only said that Engineering/Computer science are the only careers she *isn't* at all interested in.
So I know some adults on this forum are gifted, or have kids the same age/older than DD who are in a similar situation or had gone through this. Any tips on narrowing things down?
