As Each Choice Limits The Next
We Must Choose Wisely…or Else Suffer

A Different View:A Career Is A Series of
‘Same Place, Same Time’ Events
• Our ‘Choices’ Are Affected By ‘Choices’ of Others At The Same Place At The Same Time
• They Are ‘Turning’, More Than ‘Choice’, Points
• Outcomes Can Be Unforeseen & Uncontrollable
• But, If We Are Alert, We Have Some Control
