A Look at Career Education • Frank Parsons • John Holland • Donald Super
Frank Parsons • Engineer • Educator • Lawyer • Social Reformer • “Father of Vocational Guidance”
Frank Parsons “We guide our boys and girls to some extent through school, then drop them into this complex world to sink or swim as the case may be. Yet there is no part of life where the need for guidance is more emphatic than in the transition from school to work, - the choice of a vocation, adequate preparation for it, and the attainment of efficiency and success.” Choosing A Vocation, Frank Parsons, p.4.
Frank Parsons “The building of a career is quite as difficult a problem as the building of a house, yet few ever sit down with pencil and paper, with expert information and counsel, to plan a working career and deal with the life problem scientifically, as they would deal with the problem of building a house, taking the advice of an architect to help them.” Choosing A Vocation, Frank Parsons, p.4.
In the wise choice of a vocationthere are three broad factors: • a clear understanding of yourself, aptitudes, abilities, interests, resources, limitations, and other qualities;Know yourself • a knowledge of the requirements and conditions of success, advantages and disadvantages, compensations, opportunities, and prospects in different lines of work; Know the world of work • true reasoning of the relations of these two groups of facts. Connect the two ~ Frank Parsons in Choosing a Vocation, 1909, p.5
Holland’s Theory of Vocational Choice • Matching personality and work environment • RIASEC • Self Directed Search • Codes included in O*Net
Super’s Life-Space, Life Space Theory • Developmental in approach • Developmental stages – can recycle • Growth • Exploration • Establishment • Maintenance • Decline (Disengagement) • Career Maturity • Completion of tasks at each level
You live a life while making a living “Career is the totality of work and leisure in which a person is involved in his or her life.” “Instead of viewing career as a narrowly defined isolated work-related aspect only in one’s life, career is seen as an integral, active and essential component in a person’s life.” “The same job holds different meanings for two individuals who live in different situations.” Donald Super “Understanding career development: a convergence of perspectives”,, Journal of Vocational Education & Training. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/13636829800200053
Also Important to Career Education • Dr. Sidney Marland – father of Career Education • As Commissioner of Education in early 70s expanded Career Education
“The best careers advice to give to the young is ‘Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.” ~ Katherine Whitehorn British journalist, writer, & columnist
“It is not more vacation we need – it is more vocation.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962
“Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual.” ~ Homa Bahrami University of California-Berkely Haas School of Business
“When I was growing up, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I wish I had been more specific.” ~ Lily Tomlin
“The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.” ~ Oscar Wilde 1854-1900
The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.- Arnold Toynbee, historian
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life'.--Maya Angelou
Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius
“It is extremely unlikely that anyone coming out of school with a technical degree will go into one area and stay there. Today's students have to look forward to the excitement of probably having three or four careers.” • Gordon Earle Moore, Intel Founder and Chairman
“You’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care. About some you will say, ‘I don’t choose to go there.’ With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street. And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight of town.”
“You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.”
