It is common, especially in industrial cultures, for people to have to change their career paths several times in the course of their lives. This can be an extremely disruptive event for an individual and their family. Career counseling can help greatly with this transition and this is a particular strength of Eric Rutberg, M.A. Eric is competent to assist with career testing which can pinpoint a person's area of competence. Finding the most emotionally and financially rewarding career is the hallmark of competent career counseling. This can be extremely difficult for the general population who is confronted by a staggering amount of possible career choices. A therapist's job in this area is to have a good working knowledge of the type of jobs available and the qualifications needed for each of them.

The stress resulting from a disruption of employment is rated as one of the greatest a person can experience. In fact losing a job is rated in the top 5 most stressful events a person can live through. Experiencing a death, a geographical move, and a loss of romantic love are the only stressors that rival a job termination or career change. Depression can result if this is left untreated.
