Life roles describe how we take on a variety of roles in life as we age and how we view ourselves. In career counseling, one's life roles are taken into consideration throughout the career path. In one stage of life, a person might be seen as a 'student' and the focus is on education. Or they might be seen as 'breadwinner' and the focus is on earning a wage to support a family. Future roles may need to be examined in career counseling to ensure a good fit. At a later stage, one's role might be 'physician' as well as 'mother.' How well these fit together may be because of a preemptive look at the possibility of taking on both roles prior to entering into training to become a physician, especially if the woman values the role of 'mother' for later in life.
