What numerical step is suggested for evaluating two different career options objectively using quantified personal values?

Scoring each career against weighted values and selecting the option with the highest weighted score.

To move away from abstract feeling and indecision when comparing options, a quantifiable exercise is recommended involving personal values. First, the individual must identify their top priorities (like flexibility, income, or impact) and assign a weight (e.g., 1 to 10) to reflect current importance. Then, when comparing two distinct career paths, both must be scored (e.g., 1 to 10) against those same weighted values. The resulting total weighted score provides a more objective metric for comparison than simple subjective preference. The career option yielding the highest weighted cumulative score serves as the most analytically supported starting point for decision-making.
