Wrong Suffix: Gifted Education for Career Choice Should Focus on "Gift'ing'" Rather than on Being "Gift'ed'"
Robert J. Sternberg
Gifted Education International, v40 n3 p261-272 2024
Gifted education should focus on gifting rather than on being gifted. That is, it should focus on what one offers from one's gifts, not just on what gifts a person has, one way or another, accumulated. Gifted individuals should consider choosing careers that are a good fit to them, that enable them to give back, and that give them a sense of meaning in their life. They should be ready to move on if their career choice proves to be mistaken, or no longer to be a fit. They should avoid temptations brought on by outside pressures to choose careers that may be much less than fulfilling. In the end, what matters most is one's passion and motivation for a career rather than grades, test scores, or external pressures.
