Career planning offers a practical and even realistic model for how a person actually grows—movement, although not entirely controllable, is manageable and directable. As in a video game in which failure, restarting, and advancing to the next level is all part of the process, career planning can be viewed as a series of strategic opportunities and challenges offering a “dopamine rush” as a reward for each success (Ansted, 2016). Career planning, in fact, has ceased to be an adolescent activity laid down on taking up a career and rather become an ongoing part of workers’ employment. Every day, work and responsibilities, projects and duties act as career planning assessments. A person assumes responsibility for understanding the nature of the job and the realities of the career field, thus avoiding simplifying a career into a prison.
