Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

 The early career establishing years, age 25 to 44, are viewed by Super as a critical time when one struggles to form a unique identity in the work world. Individuals implement their self-concepts into careers that will provide the most efficient means of self-expression.
 Erikson (1950) suggests that during this period of time, one is balancing intimacy and isolation while also attempting to maintain a unique identity in the process of developing relationships.
 What is being stressed here is that early career experiences provide individuals with opportunities to establish themselves in the workplace.
 There also appears to be solid evidence that early encounters in the workplace will significantly influence the outcome of some of the most important socialization process.
 Critical to the individual's career development are supervisor and coworker relationships, especially in the current work environment that stresses teamwork. How individuals respond to authority figures may reflect a low concern for others or a more positive interdependent, cooperative orientation. The implications for counseling are simply that early work experiences may establish enduring positive and negative attitudes about work and relationships at work.
