Career Choice Program: Who Participates?

Clients make a wide range of statements about why they have decided it is time to dig in and decide what to do with their lives:

• I want to look forward to going to work.
• Bored and frustrated in current career.
• I want a career where I feel I am making a difference in something that matters to me.
• I want a life I love.
• I've outgrown my old career. It no longer challenges me.
• I want less stress.
• I'm not paid enough.
• I feel under-appreciated at work.
• My talents are not fully used.
• I like my present career pretty well but think something is missing.
• “Downsized” or suspect the axe is about to fall and want to select the best possible next career.
• I'm unemployed and want to take this opportunity to choose a new career more carefully this time.
• I'm in my present career because the wind blew me this way and want the next one to be the right one.
• My career used to fit until the nature of the work changed.
• I dislike my current profession and am so demoralized that no career looks appealing at this point.
• I've been dissatisfied with my career for a long time.

Early-career change
Many younger clients have discovered that the career they picked is wrong for them. They use The Pathfinder Career Choice Program to change directions.

Choosing a career for the first time
Most of these clients are at the beginning of their work lives, within a few years of finishing college, or still in college or graduate school. They want to make the best possible decisions the first time.

Always had "jobs", never a career
People who have worked at various jobs over the years because they could not decide on a career. They have reached a point where they aren’t willing to put up with this anymore.
