Question

As a college sophomore, ben pursued an interest in social science, but he had not yet selected a major. once he decided on history, he considered whether to pursue teaching or museum work. ben is in the __________ of vocational development.

Answer 1

Realistic is the correct answer.

There are 3 Vocational Periods (such as Fantasy, Tentative and Realistic Periods). In the fantasy period, people fantasize about career options as a way to decide which career path to choose from. In the tentative period, they evaluate career paths based on their area of interests, values and abilities. However, in the realistic period, a person (like Ben) has already decided on a vocational category but has still to decide on an specific occupation.
