We are looking for an experienced career advisor or career counselor to help our 19-year-old daughter identify the college major and career path that best align with her strengths, interests, personality, and long-term goals.
She is currently attending Lone Star College and plans to transfer to a four-year university, including the University of Houston and other Texas schools. She has decided to remain at Lone Star for one additional semester so she can make a well-informed decision before transferring.
Timing is important. She needs to enroll in her Fall 2026 classes soon, so we'd like to begin this engagement immediately.

- Explaining how different college majors align with those careers
- Reviewing degree plans and curriculum requirements for the universities and majors being considered
- Recommending the most appropriate Fall 2026 courses at Lone Star College to preserve transfer options
- Providing a final recommendation with the reasoning behind it, along with suggested next steps
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience advising college students or young adults
- Familiarity with U.S. universities and transfer pathways
