The starting point in my search for changes in the identity of career counseling was the following questions: Does contemporary career counseling satisfy us? Does it meet our expectations, and if so, does it do so for everyone? The validity of these questions seems to be confirmed by the opposing opinions expressed about various counseling solutions. For example, opponents of establishing university career offices argue that counseling is no longer relevant today because it often fails to provide information about specific job opportunities. Meanwhile, those who benefit from a week of free legal advice demand an extension of such initiatives, treating them as the only opportunity to be heard, even though participating in them does not guarantee legal assistance in seeking redress for the harm they have suffered. Thus, there is no clear answer to the question: Is counseling, particularly career counseling, necessary? Does the assistance provided by counselors satisfy us? Career counseling, as a practical activity, is a product of the culture of the early decades of the past century. Its usefulness during that period was frequently demonstrated. One could often hear or read that its development was reinforced, and even in some ways driven, by economic changes, industrial and economic growth, technological advancements, and the accompanying social and cultural processes. Among these, social migrations, the accompanying sense of disorientation, changes in attitudes toward work and education, and other factors played a particularly significant role.
