Occupational Goal-Setting

What are the pros and cons of each alternative?

Physicians have rewarding jobs that do something I'm genuinely interested in. There is a solid path to becoming a physician and it's also currently in demand. This job caters to most of the things I want in a career and it pays well. The only problem is the time and effort that goes into becoming a physician but that can't be avoided.

Journalists have jobs that I find really appealing and cater to most of the things I want in a job, however, their pay isn't as much as I would like.

Psychiatrists have an interesting job that is extremely in demand right now and is said to be in the future, and I would be good at it but modern-day psychiatry practices don't align with my values

Bioethicists from the law path have very interesting jobs that fascinate me. However, the path to becoming a bioethicist (even if you pick law or medicine) is extremely undefined and therefore difficult to pursue

How will you put your decision in action?

I am going to study harder in school, find more physicians who studied abroad and find out their take on the job. I am going to pick more specific courses to my career choice and start managing my time better.

My decision is physician

Re-examine my plan

My threats are that all this higher education is extremely expensive and I have severe medical conditions that often time prevent me from going to school

My weaknesses are that I'm not very smart and I have poor time management skills

What are the alternatives?

My values include pursuing higher education, caring for people, doing meaningful work, and financial security. With the different occupations I've chosen, I generally fit all my values into them.

Journalism

Psychiatrist

Bioethicist (law path)

What information do you need to make a decision?

More information of the process of becoming a doctor, specifically medical school requirements and studying abroad and whether different medical degrees are accepted in different countries

What is an occupational goal you want to pursue?

A career as a physician
