Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting his own business would provide Felix with the opportunity to set goals, measure his progress, and achieve success on his own terms. This would fulfill his high need for achievement better than any other career option. The other options do not necessarily provide as much opportunity for ownership and control over outcomes. Playing the Lotto is not a viable career option.
