What is the vocational domain and how does that domain relate to college students?

The word vocation means "calling," and it is associated with the kind of work for which one is most suited or "called to do." One's vocation is intimately associated with one's identity. People often describe themselves in terms of the professions they have pursued or the work they have done throughout their careers. "I'm an apprentice carpenter." "I'm a physical therapist at the Med Center." "I'm a teller at Chase." "I'm in marketing." and so on. A combination of temperament, knowledge, skill, and desire goes into forging one's sense of what one "ought to become"-that is, the career one ought to pursue. But the reality for college students often is that the jobs they happen to have during college do not represent the careers to which they aspire nor the majors they are pursuing.
