        Research on how to help young people successfully pursue those careers that are both personally satisfying and critical to the well-being of their communities and society at large cannot be limited to one issue or one factor. Instead, successful career development must rely on the holistic examination of those factors and the interrelationships among them that shape young people’s environments and influence their abilities to proactively pursue their career dreams.
