Career Goals



We all have goals. Some goals are simple to achieve, like show up for class on time. While some goals are more challenging to reach, like graduate at the top of my class. There are different types of goals, and the types of goals set by many college students are career goals. Career goals reveal aspirations about what type of field people want to go into; the amount of money a person hopes to earn; and the ability to be independent and comfortable. These are just a few career goals that a college students sets while preparing for their future. But what about you? You are unique. At least you might think that your situation is different from everyone else's; let's see how you and your classmates respond to the following questions.

What are your career goals, and what are ways that you plan on achieving those goals? What are some things that are holding you back from reaching your career goals? How did you come about setting these goals for yourself? Discuss the similarities and differences between your career goals and those of your classmates. Think about why they might be different. Think about why they might be similar.

And then the big question: How can we help each other to be successful?
