Explain the decision process you followed in making an important decision in the past which has now taken effect (e.g., the choice of a course of study and the university to attend; the choice of your present job). Then explain the same process in relation to a decision you are currently faced with and which you have not yet resolved (e.g., the choice of a career; the possibility of changing jobs).

How do the two processes differ? Does your analysis illuminate the role of objectives in decision making?
