An important goal for a career is that it leads to ________

A) status and prestige
B) financial security
C) the life a person wants to have
D) both status and financial rewards

Answer: C
Explanation: Though status and financial rewards are important to many people, they do not make a good career match for a person unless that person is specifically seeking those goals. A person who makes a lot of money, for example, but isn't happy in her lifestyle and job doesn't have a good career match. Another individual who, for example, makes much less money but enjoys her work does have a good career match. These factors add up to make "the life a person wants to have" the correct response for this question.
