Question 3

Traditional vs Contemporary career theories (3rsns)

Answer 3

-Determinism: Super’s theory is more deterministic, outlining specific stages and tasks that individuals should ideally go through. In contrast, Krumboltz’s Happenstance Theory is more open-ended and acknowledges the unpredictable nature of life events.
-Self-Concept vs. Environmental Factors: Super’s theory places a strong emphasis on self-concept, whereas Happenstance Theory focuses on the interplay between individual skills, interests, and environmental factors.
-Planning vs. Adaptability: Super’s theory implies a more planned and systematic approach to career development, whereas Happenstance Theory advocates for adaptability and a willingness to embrace unexpected opportunities.
