Rayyan’s father approached us with a dilemma: he strongly believed that Rayyan should pursue a degree in computer science engineering at the undergraduate level. At the same time, Rayyan himself was more inclined towards electronics engineering. Rayyan’s interest lay in electronics, whereas his father was more concerned with the employability prospects associated with computer science.
To address this, Fermata’s career expert engaged in a detailed discussion with both Rayyan and his father, outlining the potential benefits and career paths associated with electronics engineering. Recognizing the importance of an informed decision, the expert also recommended that Rayyan take a comprehensive career assessment that included an advanced report comparing his competencies in both computer science and electronics engineering.
The assessment revealed that Rayyan possessed nearly equal competencies in both fields, suggesting that he was well-suited for either path. With this data in hand, the career expert emphasized that the final decision should be guided by Rayyan’s interests, as he would be dedicating four years to studying the chosen subject. This approach ensured that Rayyan’s passion and enthusiasm for his studies would be sustained throughout his academic journey, ultimately leading to greater long-term success.
