think I could be a great writer," Rachael said, "but I've always wanted to help my folks in
their medical practice. It's hard being the daughter of two doctors and struggling in math
and science, but I like helping people, so maybe I should just try to make myself buckle
down and become a pre-med major."
Tanya replied, "You like arts and languages, Rachael, and you're very good at it. What
about being a journalist? You could write and help people."
“Yeah, but it would feel so good to work with my folks,” Rachael said.

Jeanne was offered a promotion, and had a week to make a decision. She
met her good friend, Maria, for dinner the day she got the job offer. As soon
as they were seated, Maria exclaimed, "Tell me all about it!"
"Well," Jeanne replied, "I've been working really hard, and this is a great
opportunity to move up in the company! I really like working for them, and
the new position is an extension of what I already love to do. It seems like it
would be very fulfilling and exciting, plus it pays more. However, I would
need to move across the country if I accepted. The new location is great; I've
been to that part of the country before and really loved it, but I don't know
anyone there because all of my family and friends are here. Could I really
leave everyone I know and start over somewhere else?"
Based on Jeanne's statement, which of the below has she evaluated
as a risk?
The new job description
Moving to a new part of the country
Leaving behind her friends and family
Getting a raise
CONCEPT

Eric was a successful banker who frequently rode his bike to work to avoid
having to park in the downtown area where his office was located. He
brought his suit to the office in a shoulder bag and changed from his biking
clothes before work.

interns around. One of the interns looked at Eric and then asked Eric’s boss,
“Why do you still use bike messengers when most things can be emailed or
faxed?”
Eric laughed and explained that he works at the bank but rides his bike to
work.
