Factors to choose a career
The factors influencing adolescent career choice have been well documented in the literature. These factors can be divided into two categories:
- Factors in the external environment in which the adolescent exists. External factors are those over which the adolescent has no power or control and which cannot be changed.
- Factors internal to each individual decision-maker. Internal factors are unique to each decision-maker and are rooted in individual personality.
Learning styles: The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently, refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information.
