Two people may have identical life situations while one feels satisfied and the other does not. It is the perception of satisfaction that determines ones quality of life. People prioritize these factors differently, depending on their personal values. As we understand how people prioritize these factors, we are better able to develop appropriate career counseling strategies. This refers to where people want to live.
Location is determined by climate, scenery, and access to certain recreational locations.
If living in the mountains is the most important element in a person's satisfaction with their life, then career counseling should address how to assist them to find appropriate employment in such a location. For other people, chronic medical conditions require that they live in hot dry climates. This also makes location a priority. This refers to what people enjoy doing in their free time. Leisure may include sports they enjoy playing, recreation, hobbies, or passive activities.
