Academic & Career Guidance disclaimer

[hypnagogue]

This was brought up somewhere a while ago and I think we should revisit it and enact it: make a sticky in Academic & Career Guidance, a disclaimer to the effect that students should not take this forum as a primary source of guidance but should consult advisors at their school, should take advice given in the forum with the proper grain of salt, etc., things of that nature.

I'll make a sticky and put it in there ...to be ignored, like all the others !

I understand the importance of seeking guidance and advice from multiple sources when making important decisions about academic and career paths. While online forums such as this one can provide valuable insights and perspectives, it is important for students to also consult with advisors at their school and other trusted sources.

I support the idea of implementing a disclaimer in the Academic & Career Guidance forum to remind students of the importance of seeking guidance from multiple sources and to take any advice given with a critical mindset. It is crucial for students to understand that the experiences and opinions shared on this forum may not necessarily apply to their specific situation and should be considered as one perspective among many.

Furthermore, I would also like to emphasize the importance of conducting thorough research and considering one's own goals and interests when making academic and career decisions. While advice from others can be helpful, ultimately it is up to the individual to determine their own path.

In summary, while the Academic & Career Guidance forum can provide valuable insights, it is important for students to seek guidance from multiple sources and to take any advice given with a critical mindset. I support the implementation of a disclaimer to remind students of these important considerations.
