Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work
involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect
your life in many ways. For example, it can determine where you live and the friends you make.
It can reflect how much education you have and can determine the amount of money you earn.
Your career can also affect the way you feel about yourself and the way other people act toward
you. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you
want. To make wise career decisions and plans, you need as much information as possible. The
more you know about yourself and career opportunities, the better you will be able to choose a
satisfying career. People differ in what they want from a career. Many people desire a high
income. Some hope for fame. Others want adventure. Still others want to serve people and make
the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your
values; your interests; and your aptitudes (abilities). Most people are happy in jobs that fit their
values, interests, and aptitudes. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For
example, money is the strongest value for some people – that is, wealth is more important to
them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviours, and emotions on the
goal of earning a high income. Other values include devotion to religion, taking risks, spending
time with family, and helping others. People should understand their values prior to making a
career decision. You can develop an understanding of your values by asking yourself what is the
most important to you and by examining your beliefs. For example, is it important for you to
work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone
or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.
