What: this past week, in my Fresh 100 class, with instructor Legg, we reviewed Holland’s person-environment fit theory. This theory focuses on your interests and preferences about work environment being able to guide you into best fit career choices. The categories include: realistic, investigate, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. (You could also take a test on the Meyer Briggs personality factors, to help you make career decisions)

So What: This is important because having a career that ties into your job, will increase your satisfaction. Another factor would be that it could help all those who are indecisive about what they want their career to be.

Now What: I plan on considering my own results to guide me when making decisions about my future, because I am indecisive and I want to be happy with my career. Especially since any input or guidance is helpful.

Question: Are the results for this theory always accurate? Is there really a way to prove that your choice – based off of your person-environment theory – was the best choice.
