Abstract

Culture's membership could result in varied pathways to careers, choices of career, and work opportunities. Several factors including culture and gender of individuals could influence career development and the practice of the career. Some theories were developed to connect culture and career, and others were developed for assessment and applications on career development. Therefore, the author for this chapter has used the systems theory framework of career development (STF) to tell her story, challenges, and reflection on the professional development and experience as the first indigenous dietitian in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
