You have now selected, evaluated and ranked at least 5 occupations that you consider to be potential occupational goals and, as a result, you have an idea about what it is - at this point in your life - that you might like to do. You have, as a result, learned something very important. While making the choices required to rank these occupations, you may also have discovered what in employment is most important to you!
It is also possible that you have found out that what fits you best or what you want most does not at this time appear possible. The reason could include financial limitations, a physical disability, poor grades or lack of course work in a particular subject, lack of support from your family, or the absence of jobs in your community. If that is the case, it is best to recognize such facts now so that you can either adjust your needs and wants or find ways to resolve these issues.
You may need, for example, to seek financial aid, or find out what sorts of accommodations to your disability can be made by employers, or take additional or remedial coursework, or seek out persons who can help your family understand the value of what you want to do, or learn the steps you have to take to find employment in another community. But you can do none of these things if you have not anticipated the problem and prepared to deal with it.
