What is missing is a Web Site that offers is the following:
1. A searchable database including as many colleges and universities as possible which includes a list of the majors for which they are most known.
2. As many links as possible leading to different career choices and the major one should choose in order to become involved in that industry as well as average pay scales for that career choice.
2. An e-mail messaging system which links the viewer with a qualified, up-to-date career counselor to whom he or she may direct questions.
3. A whole application on the college enrollment process, essays, letters of recommendation, etc., and the qualifications necessary to be accepted to that school.
4. A test that measures the student's career choice inclinations.
It would be wonderful if the government or some entity could afford to put up such a Web Site, but, unfortunately the counselors responding to the e-mails would want to be paid. But it's possible that the rest of the application could be made available to the public at no charge.
But for now, the counselor must remain alert for the signs of possible scam Sites, ones that offer no links and charge high prices. The counselor should gravitate more to Web Sites provided...
