BOOK DISCOVERY
Making vocational choices
First published 1973
Making vocational choices by John L. Holland was published in 1973 and is classified under vocational guidance, professional orientation, and career choice. The title places occupational decisions at the center, while the metadata offers no specific profession, assessment method, or population. The book can therefore be situated within the study of how people approach vocational direction and how guidance may shape that process. Its scope is practical and psychological, but the available record does not justify claims about particular theories or recommendations.
