Decision making model

To make this easier for me to explain, I will put my decision making model into the context of how I decided to be an elementary school teacher, so please bear with me.
1. I looked at what was most important to me and what kind of things I enjoyed. I started making goals of how long I wanted to be in school.
I decided that having a stable and secure job where I can help people was a good place to start.
2. I start researching various careers basing my search off of classes I liked and excelled at.
I started looking at fields like history, psychology, pharmacy, education, etc.
3. I listed the pros and cons of the careers I found interesting. I also took several assessments and continued taking classes in the subjects I liked.
I really narrowed it down to education and psychology by this point, though I did love history as a hobby.
4. After logically evaulating my choices and doing job shadowing and talking with other people. I listened to my heart (super cheezy I know, but it's true). I listened to my feelings and went with what I felt would make me the most happy.
That is generally the model I follow on most if not all of my decisions, not just school, but in life as well.
