Keep in Mind
Your family also has a strong influence to any decision you make. Your exposure to
them and the manner they support you to pursue whatever path you take affect your
decision in many manners. This gives confidence in your own ability to explore and
select a career path that may or may not be what your family influence you to become.
Aside from your family, you may be spending much of your time with your peers.
Adolescence is a period when you start spending quality time with friends and
classmates, influencing you in many matters. One such influence is with career choice.
They play an important role in aiding you or impeding your decisions in becoming what
you truly want. Sometimes, teenage is strong that it becomes a deciding factor for
them to continue as a group. This may become worrisome for adolescents who do not
consider factors other that peer influence. However, some also see this as a good
influence especially when peers generally consider support to individual dreams.
