Answer 1

Solution:

Career Goal: To clear CFA level 3 and become a financial analyst at wall street.

It is necessary to develop a career goal because it helps in designing a strategy as to how one should move towards achieving that career goal. Hence, it is necessary to design a career goal.

Whether or not the career goal limits the future prospects of a person depends on her career goal. My career goals are specific and hence limit the chances of switching to a different field after a certain period. For example, the goal of becoming a financial analyst will limit one's chances of switching to a different field because of the specificity of the career goal. If a person decides to build a career into digital marketing she will have a wider scope of opportunity to switch her career sheerly due to the wide scope of digital marketing in today's world. Hence, the limitations to the future depend on the career goal one is concerned about.
