HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CAREER; OR ROUND PEGS IN SQUARE HOLES
About this book
How to Choose your Career, or Round Pegs in Square Holes, is one of the latest works by Marden, and among the best treaties in vocational orientation there is. This book should be a requirement for every young person when choosing a career, because, as the author says, a lot of times you will be choosing a life style. Most people make this fundamental decision without preparation, without even thinking of the transcendence of their actions. Marden emphasizes on the tragedy of “the misfit”, on the ill-chosen vocations, on the choosing a job or a career just because it is “easy”, or in the doing something just to follow on a parent’s footstep. You have to be proud of your job, says Marden. Your occupation should elevate –never debase you. You have to be in harmony with your job or career, even make a hobby out of it, and do it with discipline and effort. You should never feel like a fish out of the water. Remember, says Marden, this is not about “making a living”, this is about “making a life”. Your life!
