Harry gets career advice from Professor McGonagall. The U.S. title is 'Career Advice'
How is 'careers advice' ('career advice') translated?
'Careers advice' is fairly standard in English in referring to advice to students on which career they should choose. The Chinese is a little more specific (and, one feels, more honest), referring to advice on 'getting a job'.
The Japanese term 進路指導 shinro shidō is standard for guidance or advice given by schools to help students decide what to do after graduation.
