Passage 2

Many American students pursue higher education to prepare professional employment. In your academic training you will

need to begin planning for the transition from college to career. A career is really a process—it is how you progress through a

series of jobs and occupations during your working years. A college education can help you get started on your career

journey.

In American society, the type of occupational fields you choose and jobs you hold influence your entire lifestyle: your self-

concept, income, prestige, choice of friends, and where you will live. This freedom to choose from thousands of employment

choices can be enjoyable, or troubling—if you don’t know where and how to begin. The best way to begin is with a well-

thought-out career plan.
