Discussion : Work and Career

To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides. One of the fortunate aspects of this formula is that, granted the right career has been found, the hard work takes care of itself. Then hard work is not hard work at all.
-Mark Sullivan

Regardless of education, individuals entering the workforce will spend, on average, one third of the week at work. Work encompasses a large part of an individual's life, and society often places great importance on selecting a career that aligns to one's talents, interests, abilities, and needs. While the theories surrounding the process of career selection vary, many experts identify this type of self-knowledge as a key marker for career success and fulfillment.

For this Discussion, you will reflect on the developmental significance of work and career. You will also consider how a career in the counseling field can add meaning to your life.
