National Counselor Exam Prep (NCE)

Answer - D - In career counseling, one’s life roles are taken into consideration throughout the career path. In one stage of life, a person might be seen as a ‘student’ and the focus is on education. Or they might be seen as ‘breadwinner’ and the focus is on earning a wage to support a family. Future roles may need to be examined in career counseling to ensure a good fit. At a later stage, one’s role might be ‘physician’ as well as ‘mother.’ How well these fit together may be because of a preemptive look at the possibility of taking on both roles prior to entering into training to become a physician, especially if the woman values the role of ‘mother’ for later in life.
