You might have already observed that more than once in your life, you dreamt
of a certain career then changed into another. As you encounter people from
different professions, it is normal to assimilate and somehow dream to
become like the in the future. Having a change of mind is a normal part of
career decision-making process. It happens when you start to become fully
aware of yourself in terms of strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, abilities and
many more aspects. It includes factors such as interests, family, peers, media
and socio-economic status. These factors influence your decision in making a
more realistic and viable career choice. It is important to recognize the role
they play and the extent to which they should influence your decisions.

exploration. It directs you to gather information and details that
develop and nurture more your inclination. Furthermore, your
prior knowledge prepares you on the requirements of obtaining
such career. Your family also has a strong influence to any
decision you make. Your exposure to them and the manner
they support you to pursue whatever path you take affect your
decision in many manners. This gives confidence in your own
ability to explore and select a career path that may or may not
be what your family influence you to become.
Aside from your family, you may be spending much of your time with
your peers. Adolescence is a period when you start spending quality
time with friends and classmates, influencing you in many matters.
One such influence is with career choice. They play an important role
in aiding you or impeding your decisions in becoming what you truly
want. Sometimes, teenage is strong that it becomes a deciding factor
for them to continue as a group. This may become worrisome for
adolescents who do not consider factors other that peer influence.
However, some also see this as a good influence especially when
peers generally consider support to individual dreams.
