How do adolescents choose careers?

What will be an ideal response?

Many adolescents will either adopt the expectations others have for their careers or
perhaps choose a career based upon their early work experiences. Others may have or
come to realize very specific career paths based upon their personalities and life
circumstances. A majority of adolescents work outside the home. Although there are
advantages to working (e.g., increased sense of responsibility, discipline), working also
has some detrimental effects. Those adolescents working more than 11 hours per week
report having lower grades, lower self-esteem, and more delinquent behavior. In
addition, working just 11 hours per week is associated with increased alcohol and drug
use.
