Excerpt from Success Through Vocational Guidance: Occupation Analysis
The choice of a life work is the most important choice we ever make; yet for many there seems to be no choice. They appear to be born into a job, or driven by necessity to take what comes, or tossed from place to place until they settle in some occupation they never desired. Yet a study of such a life would show many places where choice was blocked only by ignorance and indifference. A more satisfactory choice is nearly always possible to the person who will endure but a fraction of the discomfort suffered during a lifetime in a hated occupation.
It is not easy to choose wisely. No one can know for what he is fitted without such an analysis of abilities, opportunities, and desires as few persons can make unaided. A lifetime of unassisted experience would not give the necessary knowledge of jobs, and at the end the time of choice would have passed. When personal analysis has shown just what educational, physical, mental, financial, and other capital is available, and an occupational analysis has charted the field from which choice can be made, it is still sometimes hard to find the best roads leading from present to desired positions.
