Think about it and answer the question, what would you like to do? There are many answers, but here are five of the most common:
- You don’t want to do anything. This suggests, rather, that you have no idea of their abilities and desires. In this case, it is recommended to proceed to action: explore the professions, try your hand at different areas, communicate with those who have already reached professionalism, go to training sessions or master classes.Another way to help yourself – seek advice from a specialist. A professional career consultant will help you decide on the choice, but, of course, if he himself is competent in his business. So do not be lazy to collect reviews about him or ask for recommendations from friends.
- You know what you want. And this is already 50% of success. You have a clear idea of what brings pleasure. Great! Now you need to figure out what kind of profession matches your skills and passions: make a list of specialties and describe their advantages and disadvantages for you. We also advise specifying the salary level for a more accurate comparison. If the question is about your child: Observe what he is most passionate about. Maybe he likes to read a lot? Or spends all his free time at the computer? Ask him what exactly he likes about his hobbies.
- You want everything, here and now. It is characteristic of varied personalities with no less varied interests. In this case, it is worth to try yourself in different directions, but before that we advise to analyze what is important for you: self-actualization, good earnings, career growth, etc. Make a choice on the basis of your own priorities, and you should not give up all your favorite activities: you can make something your main job, and turn something into a hobby or part-time job. Psychologists advise to be engaged in an active search for yourself until the age of 25, because then you will achieve the greatest result.
- You want to do a job that will not bring much income. You should not give it up. As a minimum, you should try to realize yourself in the given sphere, and if in the end you realize that the business is not profitable, develop yourself in a related and more paid profession.
- Are you sure that your profession has not yet been invented. Yes, it happens if it’s not procrastination. If you enjoy what you do, but your business is unpopular in the marketplace or not available at all, that’s no reason to give it up. Try it! The great inventors became so because they brought something unique to our world. Who knows, maybe that’s your way too?
Do you recognize yourself? Great! Valuable advice received, but even here you are not immune to mistakes.
