College students only know about a career from what they’re taught in a class room and a textbook, and they might think they like it, but textbooks compared to hands on experience are completely different. College students might think they like the career, but when they actually see what the career is about and everything that is required from them in order to get the job done they might change perspective. For example, Isobel Stevens, was a surgeon who always had the desire of saving lives, but the countless hours of work, have little to no time to spend with her family, and being too emotionally attached to the patients made her realize that surgery wasn’t the career for her. If Isobel Stevens was given the opportunity to job shadow a surgeon, most likely she would’ve realized that surgery wasn’t the career for her way before graduating medical school. So, imagine her frustration, she had spent countless hours studying to become a surgeon. Now, she has to start over and find a new career that’s right for her. Some people could argue that Isobel should’ve toughen up and continue being a surgeon, but Isobel said, “I can’t keep doing a job that makes me feel miserable everyday” when she was saying goodbye to her
