Invisibility, Perceptions and Image: Mapping the Career Choice Landscape.
Foskett, Nicholas H.; Hemsley-Brown, Jane
Research in Post-Compulsory Education, v4 n3 p233-48 1999

Career decisions are based on pragmatic, opportunistic factors, not well matched with supply and demand. A divergent, holistic approach to guidance should challenge their assumptions. (SK)
