| Abstract | The Chaos Theory of Careers (Pryor and Bright, 2003ab) was first published 15 years ago. At that time the authors were dissatisfied with the extant approaches to career development. In particular they highlighted that the dominant approaches belied their positivistic assumptions of rational decision-making, and relatively stable and unchanging decision-makers operating within a relatively stable and predictable environment. |
