The article i used was by Jessica B Wolfe and Nancy E Betz. It really spoke about making career choices and what influences us to make them. The authors noted that parents and peers took a big role when it comes to career making and this is because of how the society has shaped us and we tend to look for careers that are going to make us big bucks as easy as possible and not what we are passionate about and this is evident in the Passion Project where we see everyone saying how their families influenced their career choices.The author notes that women had a greater commitment when it came to career decisions while men leaned on their fathers when it came to making choices and what careers they chose most of them would really follow after their fathers.The author also talks about fear of commitment where its related to fear of going against what is norm and this is so common in the society where we are afraid of following our passions and in so doing end up in careers that we do not like and just like Sir Ken Robinson said in the TED talk we are used to the idea of linearity and thus change is hard to come by.
Here's the link to the article.
