In Vietnam, an increasing number of young adults are choosing their career paths based on guidance from fortune telling and numerology. ImpactsK.H., a 20-year-old studying in Thu Duc City of Ho Chi Minh City, shared that she frequently turns to TikTok for insights into her numerology and horoscope. Meanwhile, T.N., a 19-year-old studying journalism and communications at a university in Ho Chi Minh City for the past two years, mentioned that after consulting friends about horoscopes, they concluded that the journalism industry might not suit T.N. Huynh Thanh Phu, principal of Bui Thi Xuan High School in Ho Chi Minh City, criticized numerology and tarot card fortune-telling as forms of superstition. “Career guidance is a crucial journey that ensures individuals have a clear direction and make informed career choices,” Anh explained.
