Differentiating Between Vocational and Avocational Goals
People often have a stable vocational supernet goal related to their career or professional aspirations. In addition to this, they may also have an avocational goal, which could be a personal interest or hobby pursued alongside their main career focus. This distinction is evident in various examples, such as venture capitalists focused on education technology also having avocational interests like practicing Aikido, or a professional puzzle maker's avocational pursuit of table tennis. It is common for individuals to have both vocational and avocational pursuits, with the latter often being a personal passion that coexists with their primary professional goal.
