WORK AND CAREER

Read this articleLinks to an external site. and respond freely with thoughtful comments. I’ve included some prompts to guide you. They are not specific questions that you are required to answer. I am interested in your thoughtful remarks whether or not they include specific ideas from the prompts. Therefore, write in an essay format, not question/answer. Here are the prompts to guide you:

• What is your initial reaction? What are the first thoughts that come to mind?
• Will this study cause you to think differently about your work and career?
• Are there people that you regularly talk to about your future? (Other than parents who are telling you rather than discussing with you. If, on the other hand, you have more open-ended discussions with your parent(s), include that.) Do you think you get honest, helpful feedback?
• Do you ever think about pursuing “quality leisure time”? Is pursuing lifetime quality leisure more or less important than pursuing quality work? That is, assuming you can only pursue one, would you prefer to have an ideal job or ideal leisure and family time?
