The primary contention of developmental
theorists is that career development for most people is a lifelong process
involving several career choices and transitions. |

In expressing a vocational preference, a
person puts into occupational terminology his/her idea of the kind of
person he/she is; that in entering an occupation he/she seeks to implement
a concept of him/herself. The
occupation thus makes possible the playing of a role appropriate to the
self concept. |
