Values are unique to each and every person (although you often share some of your values with others close to you)

You should not necessarily choose a career that your mom, dad, spouse, friend, or other people think you should do.

A value positively impacts your quality of life.

If you choose a career consistent with your values, you will likely look forward to going to work and your job will enrich your life.

A value is something you feel proud of when talking to others about it.

If your career is consistent with your values, you will be proud to tell people about your job.

A value shows up in all aspects of your life and will assume a pattern throughout your life.

Values are what you do, not necessarily what you say.  If your values clash with your career, you may need to choose a different career.
