A 50 and a 18 year old walk into a Guidance Counselor's Office

I saw this quote in an old(er) Journal of Counseling and Development in an article entitled “Translating Career Theory to Practice:The risk of Unintentional Social Injustice”(Sampson,Dozier, Colvin).

Such services [Career Guidance] need to be widely accessible on a LIFELONG BASIS, to serve the needs of individuals, the economy, and wider society.

---European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training

People figuring out where they belong in the world of work isn’t a one-shot deal. It is not typical to go into your high school guidance counselor’s office and come out knowing what your career is going to look like until you are dead.

Donald Super developed a theory that deals with the ever changing self-concept.

Career Exploration can be a part of a 55 year old’s life as it is to a 18 year old.
