To all parents - If your child is undecided about a career choice. What about paying to shadow a professional?

I'm starting a company and need to determine if parents or even high schooler's themselves are willing to pay a company to set them up with a professional in a field their interested in, they shadow this professional to determine if it's truly the right career for them before entering college. It might open their eyes, potentially preventing a career choice mistake.





Please help me out!To all parents - If your child is undecided about a career choice. What about paying to shadow a professional?
Nice idea, but a lot of people will do this for free. My son shadowed all over the place and nobody charged us. And it was a great way for him to learn things he thought he was interested in, he actually no longer wants any part of, and other things, he shadowed several more times to get a better flavor for it.To all parents - If your child is undecided about a career choice.

I agree with everybody else. You should never have to pay money to have your kid shadow a professional. People should care enough about the development and success of the next generation. Not sure how much this will help but here is a link I found.
I don't think that you need to pay for that. Many companies will do information interviews and shadowing at no cost.
Good idea


Bad implementation if charged
A lot of high schools and colleges already have programs that do this sort of thing for free.
No, I wouldn't pay. He'll get some work experience through his school, and it's free.
