In my graduate program, I enjoyed gaining specialty training and experience working within a university career center. In my clinical work these days, I find joy in working collaboratively with clients to find fitting educational and vocational paths that will give them a sense of purpose, joy, and accomplishment.
Career development is a process. It's a misnomer that our careers are supposed to develop in a predictable, stage-like fashion. For most of us, we may face everything from career satisfaction to career transitions or life changes that force us to drastically alter our career trajectories. Because our jobs are so intertwined with our mental health and self-concept, you owe it to yourself to seek support to either develop or maintain your successful career.
