This is not a problem because this chapter introduces an exercise to map out and organized them to be less confusing. This map is called “The Possible Lives Map” is about how you could narrow down and put your career choices into categories. (pg 111).  Many college students who are majoring in liberal arts usually have more than one career goal. These students have trouble focusing on one career because they don’t want to limit themselves.

Chapter 6: Even Wanderers Make Plans

Chapter 6 talks about making plans for the future. Here we are introduced to The Wise Wanderings system which has three planning strategies:

• The first one is Probability Planning (Wandering Strategy I) which means you know what you want to do.

• The second one is Possibility Planning (Wandering Strategy II) which is when you have several ideas for the future.

• And the last one is Seeking the Butterfly (Wandering Strategy III) meaning when you have no idea what you are going to do.
