WHAT DO YOU VALUE?
If you have to make trade-offs when choosing a career, do you
know what is most important to you? Family schedules and needs,
salary, and religious and ethical beliefs are common considerations.
WHY DO VALUES MATTER WHEN CHOOSING A CAREER?
If you choose a career consistent with your values, you will
likely look forward to going to work and your job will enrich your
life.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN MY OWN VALUES ARE CONSISTENT
WITH MY CAREER CHOICE?
Values are unique to each individual, although you often share
some values with family and friends. You should not necessarily
choose a particular career based on what your friends are choosing
or what your parents or spouse think is a good career. At the end of
the day, you are the one who must look in the mirror and face
yourself and your choices. If your career is consistent with your
values, you will be proud to tell others about your job.
TOOLS:
Counseling and Career Center
If you would like to discuss your values further to get some help
in deciding on careers consistent with your priorities, consider
talking with your academic or professional/technical advisor or make
an appointment to speak with a counselor in the Student Development
Center.
