You might compare this to looking at travel brochures to get some idea of the destinations you might enjoy. As you delve deeper into your career planning you clarify what each possibility entails. In our vacation example, some destinations would require long voyages or air travel plans, while others might require only a car trip. As you clarify your career plans you'll need to discover what skills, college majors, or graduate school requirements might be needed to pursue a career destination.
Many people revise their plans or direction after learning more about the requirements needed.
As you learn more about the options available and the specific costs and benefits you may realize you need to adjust your goals. For example, you may learn that the skills you most enjoy using aren't required in your career. Or you may discover that your most important life values are influencing your interests in a new and different area. These types of discoveries often lead to revising initial career plans. This involves taking the steps to work in your chosen field.
