Navigating the transition from high school to university can be a daunting challenge for many students. Uncertainty looms large as they grapple with the question of what they want to pursue academically and professionally. Some may enter university without a clear direction, unsure of which path to follow or how to translate their interests into a viable career. Others may have a specific career goal in mind but lack the roadmap to achieve it. Even within the university, students may find themselves adrift, unsure of how to leverage their chosen degree into meaningful opportunities in their desired field and profession. The lack of guidance and clarity can lead to frustration and anxiety as students struggle to navigate the complex terrain of higher education and career planning.
