I took my 18 yr old with me. I'm taking my 16 year old this summer.
We spend a lot of time and effort and education and very little on career guidance and aptitudes. We tell kids to follow their passion, but what if they suck at it or don't have the aptitude for it?
Lanier, the cool thing about the aptitude testing is that the results never change. It's the same at 16 as it is at 60.

OR find out they hate it. Our son is 29 years old and an attorney here in Atlanta. Thought he would like it because he loved law school. Turns out he loves the law but not the clients. he is in a practice that does criminal and family law. Everybody is a liar or an a-hole or both. Nobody is at their best when getting divorced or looking at jail.
He desperately wishes he was doing something else, but doesnt know where to start. I've hooked him up with various interviews but the second they find out he is a bar passed lawyer, they wonder if he is over educated and why somebody in that field would leave it.
Law can be the basis for many things, but up and starting over is HARD.

I should take my son and take it. That test could say that I am best fit for a doctor, lawyer or porn star but I am right where I need to be. In about 5 more years, I am going to leave you gentlemen with it. You will find me parked on a bar stool very far south of here for the remainder of my days.

I need to get my 16 year old to take it. How much is the testing now? I took it in 1995, so the price has probably increased.
Happiness with your job is key to a good life. Dreading 5/7 ths of your time is no way to exist
Pavoloco- has your son thought about possibly teaching law? Seems like a way to enjoy the law minus the clients. I think the life of a young associate attorney would be difficult and wouldn't be fun. The payoff is partner.
