There are many considerations when deciding on a career
Robert sees Helen sitting at a computer in the library and strikes up a conversation.
Robert: Hi, Helen.What are you working on?
Helen: I'm taking a quiz to help me decide the kind of career I should have.
Robert: A career quiz? You need to take a test to choose your career?
Helen: Well, you don't have to take a test.
Robert: Whew! I got a little anxious there thinking that I needed to study for another test.
Helen: No. The issue is that I have no idea what career I should pursue. I can see myself doing so many things. I need help figuring out what is best for me based on my interests and personality.
Robert: Good luck. But I don't need to worry since I already know what I'm going to do.
Helen: Really? But we're only juniors in high school! How can you be so sure about your future career?
Robert: Simple - my parents want me to be a doctor, so I'm going to go to medical school.
Helen: That's a lot of time and money. You might want to talk to a career counselor before you make suck a big decision.
Robert: No. I trust my parents' judgment - especially when it's something as important as deciding my future.
