近幾個月，在BK越來越多網友煩惱與兒女一同大學選科及專業、未來的就業前途。在BK有不少臥虎藏龍之士，絕對可以分享個別專業的優劣情況、入職要求、專業資格及晉升情況。

由於不同家長的背景不同、經驗及經歷的差異會相對大，我希望是良性分享，而不是以個別例子或情況來踩低或者抬高個別專業。最好是以平常心像向自己兒女或朋友介紹有關專業，讓家長及少年人有較明確的方向。如果有些較敏感的問題，我建議PM有關網友家長作澄清.......

希望唔會太遲，讓預備填JUPAS的家庭有多些參加資料。

為拋磚引玉，現貼上在eviepa帖內的分享以作參考.....

*********************************
Just shared what I did for my son in previous years.

1. Exposure - from P5 onward, I brought him to visit factories in HK & China, different office/work environment, visited universities and saw their research outputs, business lunch and dinner. No specific objectives, just exposure only....

2. Internship - business, research, shadowing ...... like private hospital vs public hospital, family medicine vs surgery.... teaching vs research....... HKU vs HKPU vs CUHK....

3. Strengths vs interests - Maths is his exceptional strength, but he will not take Pure Maths or Science subjects, he is interested in economics and finance which is highly related to numbers and modelling. He loves IT, but he won't study IT (software or hardware) or take it as career......

4. Experience sharing - once he identified some areas of interest, we arrnaged some gatherings or telephone talks with "insiders" to explore the pros and cons........Always have conflcted opinions, it's upto him to validate and narrow down his options. Initially, he was interested in Pharmacy, after talking to two "insiders", he switched to medicine....

5. Elimination - most kids can't tell where to go, but they can tell where they don't want to go........ his elimination may not sensible, just gut feeling or misled by wrong info.....

1-5 not in sequencial order...... That is brainstorming, better before F4.....

Once narrow down the career options, checked the admission requirements (Language, general and special) by attending Information day and seminars, meet with further studies officers........ It's critical to pick suitable subjects and admission grades before F4.

No matter how hard we try, still have gaps....... that's what he need to improve between F4 - F6.

Different family has different ways of doing career exploration. Just sharing, no right or wrong..... no single way.

  1. What else I could use other than " a tiger with the wings" to describe your son. A father like you who can give him such a variety of exposure, and needless for me to say, I guess University of Chicago, MIT, LSE seem to be the inevitable options for your kid if he adores Economics.  Good Luck and all the best to him

Anchan,

不知何解, 近年IS 圈内念书'一流'的顶尖孩子的首選是美国学府, 次之才是oxbridge, LSE. 这形势是愈来愈烈. 可能美国大又多外来生, 做成卧虎藏龙之象.

朋友是UBS高层,是oxford ,物理Phd, 每天向其查询入職门路的家长和年青人多不胜数, 他坦白说公司只收的applicant from MIT. 其他免问.  引得我对MIT孩子的脑袋的极大好奇.

My son study in DSS and not in IS, I am not in a position to comment on your observations.

He did attend summer school in Stanford  when he was 11and he would like to come back for studying. Then he was in Imperial College for another summer program, after that he prefer UK instead of USA......

In his school, elites study in HK for professional programs, prefer science and or engineering may favour USA, others pretty open for US or UK.

Be fair, number of Ivy League and other top universities in USA definitely more than UK...... I don't surprise more students opt for USA.

I know some IBankers joined USB after graduated from LSE, not necessary MIT, may depend on which team.

Yes, he knows about LSE, he may apply Cambridge as well, because his best friend will apply Cambridge.

Ha ha, small world. I wish he can call you CHing.

I asked him why picking LSE, his answer was no need for interview, just based on academic results, more predictable. For Economics, LSE better than Cambridge, of course, Cambridge is much better in overall programs.

Check you PM....

Hi ANChan59,

You are really a fantastic dad.
Can’t stop reading all your relevant posts about your meticulous plans on your son.
I really can’t believe my eyes.
You are really adorable!

Actually I have two questions:

1)
Just amazed that your son is so obedient.
At least he is willing to try on the every possible route that you plan for him, without any of the grievances.
Cuz it also takes him efforts/hardworking in trying all these options.
It all goes with his personality, right!? (I would say that my son, who is in IS, will possibly not accept such kind of guidance.)
2)


You have arranged the whole lot of the exposure, internship, shadowing, etc.
I am quite sure that he must have gotten the whole pile of awards and achievements, certifications, etc.
So my question is that how you can translate all these fantastic experiences into the CV, personal statement, essay, etc, whereas the admission officers only get 7 mins to read.




My son is not at your son’s age, but this question always comes up in my mind.
Could you please give your sharing about this?

My answer as follow:

[He is obedient by phases, except G7-9....... but its normal, right. We learn from a social worker, no matter what, we won't break the relationship and love him always. Somewhere, sometime, he is back. In another post, I also explained that we needed to convince him, it doesn't work all the time. After some positive results, he clicked.

The whole process did not happen in a year or two, but more than 8 years......]

[We encourage him to update his CV regularly and write reflrction after each events, he also maps out his profile to see his gaps for his target programs....... he will prepare his personal statement and essay etc after the first term of IB year 1. May be I can share some later.]

Most of my sharings are the throughput of two of us. May be my job is not so demanding as hers, I spent the time to write up the sharing.

My wife is more well educated than I and we are very committed to guide him through the process. When he is ready, we let go.

We are quite comfortable to let go soon.......
