A low score suggests that you are clear about your purpose for working. It might be better for you to look at the other issues for ideas to develop your career planning.

If you have a high score for 'Purpose' read on.

A purpose at work is to make a living - perhaps just to survive. But working purposes can also be for satisfaction you seek, fulfilment you need, or commitment to what you say is important.

Making progress here means being able to see your work as part of your life. That will help you to manage your working life in relation to...

  • earning and spending;
  • achieving, finding fulfilment and making a contribution to the world;
  • enjoying, resting, sharing and loving.

Everybody is different about how they see things like this: you may not agree about it, even with your closest friend. But disagreement about life's purposes is not a bad thing. Some people decide that what can't be found in work must be found in other ways. Sometimes that means making 'career' less important than other things in your life. The consequences of such thinking are always important.

For more help with this, look for at least one of the following...

  • school and college work where learning is relevant, not just to getting a job, but to realising happiness, fulfilment and achievement;
  • learning activity which helps you to understand being a partner-in-life, parenthood, family relations, getting what you need in life and being a citizen - as well as passing exams and 'doing well';
  • recording and profiling to help you set down what you are learning, how you are going to involve others, and how you are going to find what you really want.

 

 

You can keep this information - so that you can talk about it with your family, your careers adviser or a teacher, or somebody else who knows you well - and wants the best for you.
