Career Development Inventory

'''choosing a career can be difficult when you are not sure about what you want to be doing for the rest of your life. Growing up as a kid, I always dreamed of becoming s designer, journalist, and writer. I was a gifted kid and started drawing at a young age. I was very good at it, and my classmate always wanted me to draw pictures for them in exchange for some personal objects like pencil, charcoal and sometimes money. I was then thinking of becoming a famous drawer. But my dad was not supporting me in that dream and never bought me what I needed to draw better. A few years later, when I became a teenager and didn’t like to be wearing the same accessories with my friends, I started to modify my shoes, handbags, and everything I was wearing to school. At the same time, I was writing my first book, first poem, the first song, etc...I had a thousand ideas coming into my head, and I always preferred to be alone. I was constantly trying to organize my thoughts. I also wanted to become a lawyer to defend women and children, but I got stopped by the wrong sides of the Job. I don’t want to be constantly manipulating words to win my process it is expected that lawyers know that their client is a criminal or wrong,, but they still defend that person. I am still thinking about becoming a family lawyer, it is a well-paid job,, and I would be able to help people in need. I would just have to make sure the person I will be defending is honest and good people. However, I am still willing to continue in the fashion industry.'''

'''I feel more comfortable and confident as a fashion designer. I have Been dreaming of becoming a fashion designer since I was a kid, and want to pursue my dream. As I finish my college journey in the future I will decide if I only want to focus on only one of my childhood career dream or do as much as can. Like old African people like to say, “you can’t chase two hyenas at once”.for them, doing so you have big chances to miss both hyenas. so better focus on one to give yourself a better and bigger chance to successfully catch it since hyenas are fast and cunning animal. this adage is valid in professional life since you can’t be successful if you want to be doing a thousand things at once without a solid base, money. “only rich people can have a thousand hands, legs and mouths” In fact after you become rich you can pay millions of people to think and act for you and so you can pursue a thousand dreams when you have the material and human resources.'''

'''That being so, I will focus on one dream for now and after go for the others. Doing this exercise reminded me of all my childhood dreams and passions,it can of reminded me of myself since the career I have been matched with is what I have been already thinking of doing. It helps to project yourself in the right career. And I believe these quizzes should be given to young students in middle school and high school because a career choice has to be made before college.in fact, the earlier you plan your career the better it is since you will get more time to love it, feel it and most importantly learn about that career.'''

To conclude I will say parents need to encourage their children accomplishing their dreams without interfering in their choices, let them do what they really enjoy doing and push them to become the best at what they want to do as long as it does not hurt anyone.
