In America, people are faced with more and more decisions everyday, whether its picking one of thirty-one ice creamflavors, or deciding whether and when to get married.That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown,too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, evenparalyzed with indecision. Thats particularly truewhen it comes to the work place, says Barry Schwartz, an author ofsix books about human behavior. Students are graduatingwith a variety of skills and interests, but often findthemselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing anultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-makingamong college students during their senior year. Basedon answers to questions regarding their job huntingstrategies and career decisions, he divided the studentsinto two groups:maximizers, who consider every possible option, andsatisficers, who look until they find an option that is goodenough. You might expect that the student who had undertakenthe most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with theirfinal decision, but it turns out thats not true. Schwartzfound that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs thansatisficers on average, they werent as happy with their decision.The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that aworld of possibilities may also be a world of missedopportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tendto focus more on what was given up than what was gained. Aftersurveying every option, a person is more acutely aware ofthe opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just onecareer。
