HAND OUT 2

Recognize How Personal Values, Interests, and Experiences Relate to

the Work and Lifestyle You May Choose Your personal values and
interests are things you think are most important. Your choice of job
may depend on what you value and what interests you most.

1. The job you choose may affect where you live. If you choose to be
a forest ranger, you will probably have to live near a national forest.
If you choose to work in the movie business, you will probably have
to live near a big city.

2. The amount of money you earn may affect how you live. For
example, if your job earns you 10,000 a year, you will live differently
than someone earning 100,000 a year. You need to decide how
important money is to you.
 3. The job you choose may affect how you live. • Fred, a nurse’s
assistant, often has to work late hours or overnight and cannot always
count on a full night’s sleep. But he likes to help people feel better. •
Jill works in a plastics factory. She works the night shift and sleeps
during the day. But she likes the night shift because she earns more
money, and she likes working with machines and tools. • John, a
salesman, often works 70 hours a week, including travel. But he likes
to see new places.

4. The job you choose may affect who your friends are. Many of your
coworkers will become your friends. You may lose touch with friends
you have now.

5. The job you choose may affect your family life. For example,
Susan, a hotel manager, works 80 hours a week. She has decided she
does not have time for relatives or children.

6. The job you choose may affect your personality. Some jobs put
more pressure on you than others. This pressure may make you
nervous or grouchy. Only you can decide how you want to live.
Choose a career that fits what you value most.
