No educational goals in my life resulted in no commitment to an educational goal. However, it appears that the general consensus of these works indicate that the school counselor should be obligated with student career orientation. Career orientation and goal setting should be a continual class, not the happenstance of a productive meeting with a counselor. Until the seventh grade I had always thought that I would be an attorney, but a seventh-grade history teacher told me that I wouldn’t be a good one since I liked to argue too much. If a predetermined agenda had been at my disposal, then perhaps I would not have been so easily swayed off of a path. Perhaps insisting that students set goals would allow them to understand that their current work is a part of an individual process that which in turn allows them to fully optimize their potential. Subsequently, if more weight was placed on satisfying student’s choices as opposed to swaying to the influences of paradigms then perhaps every student would be more personally dedicated to their educational
