4. A career path is a smaller group of jobs within a
career cluster that use similar skills. You can start
in a lower-level job in a career path and, with
more education and experience, move up within
that path. A career path helps you find out how
you might move from one job to another within a
career cluster.

5. IMPORTANCE
because choosing a career path can help you set professional
goals and develop a strategy for getting where you want to be.
Part of choosing an appropriate career path involves making

AN ADOLESCENT'S CAREER CHOICE

Here is a list of external factors that influence our
career choices and how they affect our choices:
Our influences in choosing our career path can make
or break us. Therefore, we have to consider some
choices before we arrive at a definite decision that
we may no longer change throughout our lives.

1.LIFE RULES
We have to think carefully on what life role we would want to play
for the next coming years in our lives.
We were taught in childhood that parents know what is best for us.
But in the long run, our decisions matter most than any other
people’s opinions. We should have the independence in choosing
the career we want to pursue, or else we will be dragging
ourselves into doing the things that we never wanted to do.

3.FINANCIAL CAPACITY
Some people are unfortunate to not have enough financial
capacity to pursue their dream career. Since we come up with
choices, we may go for what is realistic and reasonable for now.
A lot of people have made their passion their career. This can be
made possible if you want to stick with your passion anyway. While
some others set aside their passion and pursue a career far from
the line of their passion. Either way is okay.
4.PASSION OR CAREER
14. A set of views or attitudes that guide how you live your life is the
simplest definition of values. They are concepts that are significant
to you individually and that define you as a person.
What are values?

Everyone has a unique set of core values that are influenced by
their life experiences. Psychologists also believe that it is critical
to be aware of your values throughout your life because they
can shift as your career and personal life progress. Reviewing a
list of core values for ideas can help you get a sense of what
your values are.

18. Personality is easier to spot, it’s largely static and slow to evolve.
Character, on the other hand, takes longer to discern but is easier
to change. That’s because character is shaped by beliefs, and with
enough effort and motivation, changing one’s perspective and view
of the world can lead to a shift in one’s character.

Tools for identifying personality traits have never been more
plentiful. “In the U.S. alone, there are about 2,500 personality tests”
to choose from (Ash, 2012). Yet, quantity does not imply quality.

self-awareness, self-confidence, self-control, self-knowledge,
personal reflection, resilience and determination are the foundation
of how we behave.
