Choose the incorrect statement in the following list pertaining to implications for career development programs for students in middle school.

a. Students in middle school who continue the process of awareness initiated in elementary school will recognize the changing nature of career commitment. The skills and knowledge learned to evaluate initial career choices will be used to evaluate multiple choices over the life span
b. Students in middle school have difficulty identifying and evaluating their interests in relation to total life experiences. Learning to relate acquired skills to educational and occupational goals promotes exploratory reflection and activities
c. Middle school students will greatly benefit from hands-on experience with skill activities associated with occupations. Basic and concrete experiences provide a means of learning skills used in work
