Good morning I was wondering if someone can assist me in finding the correct response to the following questions:
1. According to Super’s theory, people are satisfied in their work choice to the degree that they are able to “fulfill life roles.” True or false
I selected false because people could implement their self-concept thought their work choice.
Super et al. (1996) assumed that an individual’s career choice was not merely the result of matching his or her abilities and interests to the world of work, but that it was an expression of the individual’s self-concept. Thus, people were satisfied to the degree that they could implement their self-concept through their work choice, thereby connecting with the personal meaning of their abilities, interests, values, and choices (Super et al., 1996).

2. People should search for a career in which they will be content for their entire working life. True False
I selected true because selecting a career that is satisfying will allow drive to continue working in that field.
3. According to Evans, Rotter, and Gold, the most vital aspect of career and life decision-making is the individual. True False
I selected False
Gold, Rotter, and Evans (2002) made a strong case that all career decisions are influenced by one’s family and culture.

4. Hansen's 6 tasks are all focused on a holistic view of career development. True False

(chuckle) Perhaps Lencho did not like my comments. As to preparing for a single career, it is true that some careers won't change over the decades. Careers in medicine, teaching, etc., even politics, don't go out of style or change substantially. Others become obsolete, or the careerist sees the jobs move away without him or her, so must make some decisions. So, Lencho, the young person planning a career must realize that some flexibility may be necessary in the real world.
Even in a career that may not change very much over the years, sometimes people want to change. Teachers may "burn out", nurses may want a less stressful career after years of doing it. In my own family, an uncle wanted to be a mortician. He went to mortuary school, went to work for HIS uncle in the funeral business, and,later, became a part-owner in the business, but at mid-life decided to make a change, for (I think) several reasons.
