My Career
Objectives:
 At the end of this module, the learners are expected to:
1. name the pros and cons of the decision made for life and
career; and

areas for enrichment.
Introduction
There are many career options to choose from, so senior high schoolers like you must learn
to manage your choice of career or life goal. When you encounter challenges that
somehow affect you from reaching your goal, do not give up. Just as career options are
numerous, so are the possible ways of addressing the tests that come along with the
preferred career. The same is true when we encounter challenges that hinder us to reach
our dreams. For each of the challenges identified in the attainment of your career choice,
let us identify possible ways to address them.
This module will guide you in applying your abilities and maximizing your resources in
deciding for your career. It will also make you realize that there are many factors that
affect and in a way, strengthen you decision making for a career choice.
Directions: Choose three challenges or concerns from the list below that relate to what you are presently experiencing in
your chosen career. Rank them one to three with 1 as the topmost challenge and 3 as the lowest.
___________ Financial status

GOAL
-is anything—an object or situation—that
we think we need or want. It may be
something we want to do, what we want
to be, or what we want to have.
 NEED
- what we do not have or do
not have enough of.
 Abraham H. Maslow
• well-known social psychologist
• classified human needs and arranged
them in hierarchical order from
lower to higher needs.
His theory of sequential development of needs states
that:
• Lower-level needs develop first in the life of a
person.
• Once lower-level needs are satisfied or are on the way to

satisfaction, they assume less importance in motivation
because the higher-level needs become dominant in
motivating behavior.
HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
 VALUE
• is something we have and which we
prize or treasure
Different kinds of values:
• personal values
• family values
• spiritual values
• work values
• career values
• social and humanitarian values
• cultural values
Jumping the Hurdles Inside of Me
There will be many obstacles that the adolescent will face when choosing and
planning a career path. The bigger the problems adolescents think they have,
the stronger they will become after overcoming these problems. Jumping the
hurdles that are within will take time, but practicing the virtues will strengthen
adolescents for the hurdles they will have to jump over. There are many
different external obstacles that adolescents will face in the path that they
choose to take. Many of these problems may seem like they are beyond the
adolescents’ control. It is important however, to remind them that in every
situation that occurs, what matters most is how they deal with it. To jump the
hurdles from outside takes a lot of strength in decision making.
Procedure :
Prepare Activity Sheet No. 3: I create My Own Ladder of
Success!
The learners will draw an illustration of a ladder with four steps
showing their journey in reaching their career and life goals
through the career decision they made.
First step : At present

Third step : After 5 years from now
