INTRODUCTION
There are many career options to choose from, so senior high schoolers must learn to
manage their choice of career and life goal. When they encounter challenges that somehow affect
them from reaching their goal, they should not give up. Just as career options are numerous, so
are the possible ways of addressing the tests that come along with the preferred career. The
same is true when they encounter challenges that hinder them to reach their dreams. For each of
the challenges identified in the attainment of their career choice, let us identify possible ways to
address them.
This module will guide you in applying your abilities and maximizing your resources in
deciding for your career. It will also help you realize that there are many factors that affect and in
a way, strengthen your decision making for a career choice.

DEVELOPMENT

Goals, Needs, and Values

A goal is anything—an object or situation—that we think we need or want. It may be

something we want to do, what we want to be, or what we want to have.
A need is what we do not have or do not have enough of. The well-known social
psychologist Abraham H. Maslow classified human needs and arranged them in hierarchical order
from lower to higher needs. His theory of sequential development of needs states that:
 Lower-level needs develop first in the life of a person.
 Once lower-level needs are satisfied or are on the way to satisfaction, they assume less
importance in motivation because the higher-level needs become dominant in motivating
behavior.

A value is something we have and which we prize or treasure. We make choices to protect,
defend, or enhance it. A value is shown in the choice we freely make. We are happy with the
choice. If we value working with others, we will always choose situations at work in which we
interact with others rather than working alone. Values may include:
 personal values
 family values
 spiritual values
 work values
 career values
 social and humanitarian values
 cultural values

Jumping the Hurdles Inside of Me

There will be many obstacles that the adolescent will face when choosing and planning a
career path. The bigger the problems adolescents think they have, the stronger they will become
after overcoming these problems. Jumping the hurdles that are within will take time, but practicing
the virtues will strengthen adolescents for the hurdles they will have to jump over. There are many
different external obstacles that adolescents will face in the path that they choose to take. Many
of these problems may seem like they are beyond the adolescents’ control. It is important

however, to remind them that in every situation that occurs, what matters most is how they deal
with it. To jump the hurdles from outside takes a lot of strength in decision making.
