Exploration stage mid-adolescence to mid-twenties: crystallization (ages 14 to 18)- just an idea, specification (ages 18 to 21) where u pin down what exactly wht u want to do.

If i set myself the goal to become something then i can do this: work values- what are you looking to get out of ur job. 4% 18-21 year olds in college: today.
