iv
The former President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln once said and I
quote “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Individuals with strong
determination combined with hard work will probably reap a good harvest. However,
taking such course would not be easy because it needs self-submission and a clear
vision as to what career you will choose. Your future profession basically will dictate a
lot of things in your life- it can determine the kind of lifestyle, the quality relationship
that you have established with other people and the balance you will be able to keep
with your life and your responsibilities as well. It is very important as Grade 12 High
School students to already have determined your future profession.
You have to ask yourself the following questions before making such decision;
is this really what I like to do? Is this what I see myself in the future? Is my decision
based on my personal choice or just a peer pressure? What are my strengths? What
are the disadvantages and advantages of each option? What will help and what will
hinder me?
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Explain that understanding different factors, career development concepts and
personal life goals influence career planning and decision making.

better job and are more likely to be promoted.
