How to discover your dream career (if you have no idea)

Choosing a career is such a stressful endeavour... I still struggle with it every day. But this is the exercise that has helped me get more clarity about what I want to do in life.
It has 3 simple steps:
1. Inventory of skills and passions
2. 9 lives thought experiment
3. Create your perfect position

story of how i found my dream job since i was 3 yrs old i've been a ballet dancer all the way to 16 so far... i was set on becoming a professional dancer with a company, but during quarantine ballet was super restricted and i slowly understood that i'm more than just a ballerina! i've been going on trips to chicago every year since i was 6 yrs old and the science and industry museum was my favorite thing about the trip, especially the weather exhibit. actually it's funny 😂 tiktok really helped me find out that i want to be a meteorologist/storm chaser!!! and after watching the movie twister i really knew that i AM going to be a meteorologist, i know it! after having anxiety about what i was going to do if i didn't make it in the ballet world (it's extremely hard to get a job) i'm so excited now and SUPER relieved that i know what my future dream is!! also your my fav tiktoker

[@maxklymenko]

that's so cool - excited for you!

You mentioned " Do not judge yourself " i think so much aspiring Entrepreneurs, KZbinrs, etc.. face this problem. Doubting your ability never helps, this only pulls you back. BTW, Loved this video🙂helped me a lot, as i am set to go to University this year. (first year cse)🙃.

[@brianpalas]

I wish I had seen this video sooner. At the moment I have studied History, tried graduate school three times, and I am still trying to figure everything out. And I haven't hit my 30's yet! Something I have thought about many times was doing something with foreign languages, since that is my passion (although I wouldn't call myself fluent in any language other than English). Based on the steps from this video, my "dream job" is kind of a hybrid between Language Learner/Teacher/Translator/KZbinr. Those would allow me to engage with my passion for learning languages, as well as providing an income and many different job opportunities, all from the comfort of home! Regardless, I'm still stuck going from one retail job to another. But I would like to start a KZbin channel later this year...

Great - so what’s your decision?

[@inesruanodecastro3651]

@@maxklymenko I'm stuck between international relations (public uni) and business relations (private uni) and I desclaimed the type of uni because this indecision really comes down to grades. I really love both the study plans and I already chose the universities so... I'm also pretty aware that I don't want to be in the same job all my life so when it comes down to studies I wanted the most universal thing. Thanks btw 😊
