Career Myth Buster!
Career Myth Buster is an interactive, research-informed quiz designed to help students question common misconceptions about career planning. Insights from focus groups and surveys with students, educators and guidance counsellors across Canada show that deeply rooted myths continue to influence decisions and fuel anxiety, including beliefs that:
A single “wrong” choice can jeopardize a student’s future
Grades alone determine success
University is the only pathway to a meaningful career
Students must identify a passion before exploring options
Only certain careers allow them to contribute or make an impact
The quiz helps normalize exploration, reduces pressure, and reinforces that career development is a lifelong journey – not a single high-stakes decision.
