This paper covers many areas including Career counseling theories learnt in class. These theories are used in application to my life stories as contributory to the beginnings, present and future analysis of my career sojourn. As you read further, you will understand some of the good and bad things that led to who I am today. The use of personification in telling my stories is highlighted in what career choices and success affects my today 's and future career goals.
In concluding, the steps taken to achieve the goals that are enumerated are critically reviewed.
Career development is a continuous process due to the changes in society and environment. Super 's concept includes economic factors influencing career development and relates them to society and labor market. The economic influence is manifested in family life and status. One 's financial background affects career background.
Financial security is a partial factor and can act as one less obstacle towards reaching career goals. Although financial aid is readily available, family background and wealth may result in higher expectations. From the analysis above, it is very eminent from my background. Having the requisite educational attainment is a panacea to success for every person who wants to succeed in life. Success in life at the time, even in some culture today means status, material wealth and all other things that follow.
Touching on Super 's theory of economic factors, my case was very different as compared to the other friends I grew up with. My father at the time was in a good position to finance my educational sojourn. It was a competition: getting the best results in school and remaining academically superior amongst one peer. I was very fortunate though but with extra input of having sleepless nights and sacrificing social activities.
