DOOR 2: MEN

How would you rate your satisfaction with your career so far? (If you're a full-time parent, consider that your career.)

Very satisfied.

It's okay.

Somewhat dissatisfied.

Not applicable; I'm too young for this to have any meaning.

If you could magically change your occupation, right now, without loss of income, what might you do? ( Assume that you would be paid what you are currently paid while training for this occupation, or perfecting your skills.)

Acknowledging that all of these things are important, and acknowledging there may be overlap, which goal do you think is MOST important in deciding a career:

Self-fulfillment: An occupation that best satisfies your own passions; a job you find exciting and intriguing.

Adequate compensation: An occupation that that rewards you fairly for your skills and training and allows you to best provide for your family.

Social consciousness: An occupation that helps others and contributes to the good of society in a tangible way.

Power: An occupation that makes you an important person, able to influence people and institutions.

Esthetics: An occupation that allows you to create beauty for others to enjoy.

You have to spend the next five years in one of these occupations. In each case, assume you will be earning what you are earning now. Which of these would you MOST prefer?

Kindergarten teacher

Highway toll booth operator

Police officer on a beat in a moderately upscale suburb
