Jackson’s father, John, is one of the best lawyers in town. Jackson is 17 right now and starting to choose colleges. His dad wants him to go to his alma mater, because it has a great pre-law program. Jackson knows that his dad would be so proud if he goes to law school but he loves science. In fact, he organized a science club at school and took college credit science courses at the recommendation of his teacher. After interning with his father at his law office, talking to the guidance counselor, working various summer jobs (at a pool, at a daycare, and building houses), he is confident that he wants to study science in college. Which identity status best fits Jackson? Be sure to provide an explanation of why that status best fits (use the dimensions of identity status to support your decision).
