Definición

  • Vocational choice is a search for a life career that fits one's concept of self, both socially and psychologically. According to circumscription and compromise theory, four developmental processes guide this person-job matching process during the first two decades of life: cognitive growth, age-related growth in cognitive ability; self-creation, increasingly self-directed development; circumscription, progressive elimination of one's least favored vocational alternatives; and compromise, accommodation to constraints on implementing one's most favored alternatives.
