What is a Career?

Career is an occupation or a profession, that one undertakes for a long

period of his life time & derives monetary benefit from it.

Example: If someone is painting pictures for a long time, but does not
expect to gain any monetary reward, that will be considered as his hobby rather
than career. Similarly, if he paints & exhibits his paintings in a gallery for
prospective buyers, then painting will be considered as his Profession.

Career Choice Influence Factors

Skills and Abilities - Considering your skills and abilities and how they
may fit a particular occupation comes out of one of the earliest career
development fields.

Trait-Factor theories, and is still used today. These theories recommend

creating occupational profiles for specific jobs as well as identifying individual
differences, matching individuals to occupations based on these differences.
You can identify activities you enjoy and those in which you have a level of
competency though a formal assessment.

Interest and Personality Type - Holland's Career Typology is a widely

used to connect personality types and career fields. This theory establishes a
classification system that matches personality characteristics and personal
preferences to job characteristics. The Holland Codes are six personality/career
types that help describe a wide range of occupations.

Life Roles - Being a worker is just one of your life roles, in addition to
others such as, student, parent, and child. Super's Lifespan theory directly
addresses the fact that we each play multiple roles in our lives and that these
roles change over the course of our lives. How we think about ourselves in these
roles, their requirements of them, and the external forces that affect them, may
influence how we look at careers in general and how we make choices for
ourselves.

Previous Experiences - Krumboltz's Social Learning and Planned

Happenstance theories address factors related to our experiences with others
and in previous work situations. Having positive experiences and role models
working in specific careers may influence the set of careers we consider as
options for ourselves. One aspect of Social Cognitive Career Theory addresses
the fact that we are likely to consider continuing a particular task if we have
had a positive experience doing it. In this way, we focus on areas in which we
have had proven success and achieved positive self-esteem.

Culture- Racial and ethnic background, as well as the culture of an

individual's regional area, local community, and extended family, may impact
career decisions. Our culture often shapes our values and expectations as they
relate to many parts of our lives, including jobs and careers. Multicultural
career counseling has emerged as a specialized field to take these influences

into consideration when counseling clients and students. We can't attribute the
predominant characteristics of a culture to any one of its individuals, but
having an awareness of the values and expectations of our culture may help us
understand how we make our career choices.

Gender - Both men and women have experienced career-related

stereotypes. Gender is a factor included in multiple career development theories
and approaches including, Social Learning and multicultural career counseling.
How we view ourselves as individuals may influence both the opportunities and
barriers we perceive as we make career decisions. Studies of gender and career
development are ongoing as roles of men and women in the workforce, and in
higher education, evolve.

Social and Economic Conditions - All of our career choices take place
within the context of society and the economy. Several career theories, such as
Social Cognitive Career Theory and Social Learning, address this context in
addition to other factors. Events that take place in our lives may affect the
choices available to us and even dictate our choices to a certain degree.
Changes in the economy and resulting job market may also affect how our
careers develop.

Childhood Fantasies - What do you want to be when you grow-up? You

may remember this question from your childhood, and it may have helped
shape how you thought about careers then, as well as later in life. Career
counseling theories are expanding as programs related to career choice are
developed for all ages, including the very young. Ginzberg proposed a theory
that describes three life stages related to career development. The first stage,
fantasy, where early ideas about careers are formed, takes place up to age 11.
