What Promotes Joy
Published in Eve Shapiro, Joy in Medicine?, 2020
From there I went to a school career counseling center and took all these personality tests that tell people what they would be good at. I sat with the counselor who told me that, based on my scores, I should be a stewardess. You can’t make this stuff up! I thought, you’ve got to be kidding me! I decided I would do what I wanted and go for it. When I was a junior taking the MCATs, which I didn’t do very well on, I had a premed advisor who told me he didn’t think I would get into medical school. There was a program in my state geared toward getting students from small, rural places into medical school. I got into that program, did get into medical school, and got into a top-ranked residency program. I became chief resident in my senior year.

John Holland spent forty-two years devoted to career counseling. His theory develops person-environment theory, adding developmental aspects. Holland (1997) says, “Both people and environments can be categorized into six types: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional,” and “[p]airing of personality types with certain environmental models will lead to predictable outcomes including vocational choice, stability and achievement.” Holland’s work reinforces the importance of including individuals in career planning and encouraging them not to limit their choice based on perception of barriers created by disability. These barriers may be resolved with accommodation. In fact, in the United States, barrier removal is required under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and similar laws in the European Union and other countries.

Ideally, good career counseling could help more students choose a career path where they can develop a stronger attachment to their work, leading students to develop a calling orientation which can be used as a resource against burnout. In addition, university programs and courses could incorporate exercises to encourage students to explore their own orientation to work. If a student perceives work as a means to an end, programs could help them identify jobs, job qualities, or work environments that would complement that type of mentality. For example, students may explore whether flexible or remote options may fit their goals and mentality; a recent international survey indicates that remote workers vary in their opinion about the demands versus advantages of working from home40. Ultimately, benefits of flexibility could end up being valued by those who simply desire a paycheck and find fulfillment in other areas of their lives beyond work more valuable.

College career counseling centers could be strengthened by considering the unique needs of their trans population. Prospective graduate students’ decision-making is impacted by career counselors, advisors, and others who assist prospective students in the application process, and support them in evaluating program features, including rigor and climate (Meza et al., 2018). Counselors and advisors should be aware of the significance of gender minority stress to trans students and the need to center climate issues to the extent possible in the application and decision-making phases. They can help trans students to evaluate universities’ climates and consider how the benefits and drawbacks of each program align with their values and goals. Along with considering gender minority stress, it is crucial to keep in mind other marginalized identities that may impact student options and safety in diverse settings (Garvey et al., 2019). There is evidence that LGBTQ students may encounter identity tensions during graduate school, particularly in conservative settings, suggesting that trans students would benefit from guidance (e.g., by career counselors) to reflect on the role of their gender identity and other identities before choosing where to pursue graduate study (Perez, 2016).
Infusing Human Sexuality Content and Counseling in Counselor Education Curriculum
Published in American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2018
Samuel Sanabria, Thomas L. Murray,
Within this CACREP common core area, counseling students receive exposure through their career counseling/development course. The aforementioned core area includes the standard 2.f.4.e., which states “strategies for assessing abilities, interests, values, personality and other factors that contribute to career development.” This standard could be addressed by providing students with a case study of a fictional client who receives legal and social services for those transitioning out of sex work. The students could develop a treatment plan that includes identifying career counseling assessments that they would utilize. Students could demonstrate how to use the information from the assessment to create career counseling goals and counseling interventions. The case study might also address other cultural factors including gender, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity depending on other presented client factors.
