About the Book

The College System Is Rigged. Here's How Smart Families Beat It.

Your kid got into college. Congratulations. Now what?

If you're banking on that acceptance letter to guarantee a future, you're about to learn an expensive lesson. Because while you were chasing prestige and campus tours, the job market moved on.

Major Mistake exposes the brutal truth: most college graduates are unemployable, drowning in debt, and living in their childhood bedrooms-not because they're lazy, but because no one taught them how to turn a degree into a career.

College counselor turned industry whistleblower Kristina Servidio reveals:

- Why "follow your passion" is the worst career advice ever given

- How to reverse-engineer your teen's future BEFORE picking a major

- The MAPS Framework for choosing majors that actually lead somewhere

- Why job shadowing beats campus tours every single time

- How to build a "pivot portfolio" that gets your kid hired before graduation

- The hidden truth about why prestigious schools are failing their students

This isn't anti-college. It's anti-college-without-a-plan.

Servidio spent over a decade helping families navigate college admissions using the same broken playbook everyone else follows. Then she watched her own students graduate confused, directionless, and deep in debt-despite getting into "good schools."

That's when she burned it all down and built something better.

Major Mistake gives you the strategy successful families use to turn college into a launchpad, not a landing pad. You'll learn how to help your teen build proof (not just potential), create career clarity before senior year, and graduate with momentum instead of just a diploma.

Perfect for parents of high school students who want their kids to:

- Choose majors based on market reality, not personality quizzes

- Graduate with experience, not just good grades

- Build careers that actually use their education

- Avoid the quarter-life crisis plaguing most college graduates

Stop hoping your kid "figures it out" in college. Give them the tools to figure it out NOW.

A

Because the families who think strategically don't just survive the college process-they dominate what comes after.
