How to Find a Career You Genuinely Love

am i the only one whos had career stress since i was like 9

The hardest part about directing your career towards what you enjoy is discovering what you actually enjoy. This is even more difficult for someone 16-18 who has minimal expeerince to draw on.

99% of people think they need to find the right career FIELD In reality, you should look for QUALITIES of work you enjoy: - Buliding VS Maintaining - Recognition VS behind-the-scenes - Solitary VS Social Find the work with the right qualities and you'll love the work you do. ~Thomas Frank

...And if you have Adhd like me and looking back you wanted to be everything! An astronaut, astronomer, computer scientist, computer programmer, make up artist for TV, actor, psychologist,teacher, architect, doctor, entrepreneur, health promotion, sales person, fashion designer, TV lighting technician, traveller, presenter, radio DJ, owner of amusement park, wildlife expert and the list goes on and on etc etc etc😂😂😂

"It's OK to change your mind!"

Also, if you enjoy something but you know it may not be a profitable or practical career, you can pick it up as a hobby or side hustle. That way, your hobbies aren't tainted by the pressures of a job either

90 minutes a week is how much time I tell my beginner piano students to practice. That’s a great benchmark and good to know it applies elsewhere in life!

For those reading this, don't forget about the courage and the faith that IT WILL WORK OUT. Or maybe it doesn't even have to work out. You only have to try. Have faith that what you like can be rewarded.

I'm currently in the career I thought I always wanted. Spent my entire childhood and young adult years focused on getting here. Ten years in and things have changed so much that I now dread going to work every day. It's terrifying to need to leave it because I have a good income with good benefits but I feel myself slowly dying inside.

2 months ago, I dropped out of Engineering College. Now, I am just focusing on the things that I love, making videos and singing. Sometimes, It's worrying but very exciting

3 months ago I left my high paying job, moved my family to Mexico, and now what I do all day is pursuing my dream career - to create video. It's scary, but exciting!

I think as well as understanding the tasks you'd be doing, it's helpful to know what you need to thrive in life in general. When I was a teenager I thought that what I really wanted was to spend all my time doing "cool stuff" as a job, and that I'd be super adventurous and travel all over the place. But with more experience, I've realised for me personally, I need a regular routine, a sense of stability and to be able to spend time with people I love. I also used to think I'd enjoy working from home...But I must be one of the rare exceptions, because when I tried it, I found I got so stir-crazy and unmotivated being at my flat all the time! I got into really bad habits too, like starting my work day later and later, because without an external structure I struggled with self-discipline. Unfortunately, I don't think the wild and crazy freelance artist lifestyle I thought I wanted at 17 is something that would actually make me happy!

I wish school would teach this rather than push for us to attend college for the sake of it.

Discovering a fulfilling career involves focusing on daily tasks, visualizing aspirations, auditing time, skill development, online learning, embracing change, and iterative exploration.

The vibe. The vibe is what's most important. -I've worked HR in the insurance industry. -HR at a medical practice -HR anslyst in the HR IT industry - Business analyst for public health -Scrum Master for pharma The biggest factor of how well I enjoyed my job was the joy and vibe of the culture. The skill - I can adapt to. Consistently crappy people, I can not. Migrating from 20 years HR, namely in smaller( 200-300 ee's) companies to PM /Scrum in a massive org, was a decent shift. There were many ups and downs, but the culture lends heavily to the overall satisfaction of the job. I absolutely love my company ❤️

Changing your mind is important as no one knows everything and certainty is really that we all will die.

So true, so important to remember that happiness comes from your everyday and that's what you need to focus on. Also so important to look at the tasks that you want to do to make the decision completely agree. Embracing change is another important one. Great video!

Currently lost with what I really want to do in life, glad that this video came out. Trying to get into content creation but its scary

I do agree that we should always think of the tasks that we enjoy to understand what our dream job is. But the thing is sometimes you thought you would be doing this if you were in this career, but it turns out that the things that you do are so different from what you envisioned. 😢
