There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and
in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways.
For example, it can determine where you live and the friends you make. It can reflect how much education
you have and can determine the amount of money you earn. Your career can also affect the way you feel
about yourself and the way other people act toward you. By making wise decisions concerning your career,
you can help yourself build the life you want. To make wise career decisions and plans, you need as much
information as possible. The more you know about yourself and career opportunities, the better you will be
able to choose a satisfying career. People differ in what they want from a career. Many people desire a high
income. Some hope for fame. Others want adventure. Still others want to serve people and make the world
a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values; your interests;
and your aptitudes (abilities). Most people are happy in jobs that fit their values, interests, and aptitudes.
Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some
people – that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts,
behaviours, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devotion to religion,
taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others. People should understand their values prior to
making a career decision. You can develop an understanding of your values by asking yourself what is the
most important to you and by examining your beliefs. For example, is it important for you to work as a
member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is
important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.
