According to Nebraska Careers and Education, several myths still exist about career expectations. Beware of the following myths when planning your career goals. (Originating source: Minnesota SOICC Careers Study Guide)
There's only one right job for me.
On the contrary, there are numerous occupations in which your talents can be equally applied. The nature of these possibilities will expand as your work experiences accumulate.
Most people start their career at age 21 and proceed in a straight line toward their career goals.
Not likely! The career paths of most people are filled with zigs and zags and changes in direction.
There are specific job responsibilities for every occupation.
On the contrary, people in positions with the same title often perform different tasks. Duties may vary according to an individual's interests and capabilities, as well as employer's needs.
You must have work experience to find a job.
Often you're hired for your aptitude or potential to learn and advance in an organization rather than for your existing work capabilities or experiences.
A four-year college degree guarantees a well-paying job.
Not true! Only 20-50% of current jobs require at least a four-year college education. It's very important to remember that many jobs also require technical skills.
If I'm smart, go to college, study hard and graduate, I'll get a job in my chosen occupation.
Not necessarily. Getting a job in your chosen occupation depends on many factors, such as the U.S. economy, downsizing, competition, advancements in technology, etc. Again, you may have to be patient and very persistent in your job search.
Career planning is an irreversible process.
Not so. You can change career directions whenever your talents, needs, and resources dictate or allow.
Choosing an occupation is difficult.
While choosing an occupation takes time, patience, and research, it can be a satisfying experience under the guidance of your family, teachers and counselors.
Everyone should go to college.
Everyone probably needs some training beyond high school. Think first about what occupation you want, then find out about what education is necessary to do the job. Remember that both desire and effort are necessary to be successful in post-high school education.
