Many students have a challenge getting their parents or caring advocates to understand what they want when it comes to their career/work/contribution path. Well-meaning family members and other loved ones want the aspiring students in their lives to be secure, safe and in a position to create lives that set them up for success. However, there is often a misalignment between what students want and what their loved ones want for them. This is where the essential wants and desires conversation comes in, which is actually a series of conversations. But, aspiring students need to know what their wants and desires are before they can successfully argue their case.
