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

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 ❤️

It's funny bc it has always been the opposite for me. If I do my hobbies with no plan on turning them into a habit, it's like I enjoy them less bc I dont make them stick. And taking a job I dont like seems utterly impossible. So doing my hobbies with the intention to work on them really is what gives me the discipline to even pursue them at times. It's all or nothing for me. Either I get to do with at all times and get better, or it seems kind of hollow to show up for things in a dovided way, where my hobbies dont grow bc I take more time for other things, and those same things domt seem to have a point for me

@christopherogle5163 2 ай бұрын

Why would you not want to have (or MAKE) a career in anything other than what you enjoy most? Side hustles are not sustainable because they're just that, on the "side". Very few people in this world have the capacity to maintain ONE career focus let alone manage (or grow) side hustles. The secret is simple... find what you love to do that serves a need in people, and go and do THAT. The reason why most people never find or stick with "THAT" is because they're chasing a fantasy that doing what you "love" means you won't face challenges or pain. And so they give up at the first sign of pain. This means you do NOT really "love" it because the definition of "love" is to accept both its positives AND its negatives equally. So the secret within the secret is to ask, "what is it I love to do that serves a need? and what do I love SO MUCH that I'd be willing to go through all the inevitable pain and challenges to keep doing it?" Once you've found that, then go for it. It could be working for someone else but it's most likely going to be starting your own business, because that way you have more control over where you want to take YOUR vision and service to the world. And to anyone reading this, I know what you're probably thinking... "but starting my own business is WAY too risky... what if I fail?" And my answer would be KEEP DIGGING, because you haven't found it yet. Once you've found it, you will let NOTHING stop you. I'm not saying quit your job the day you find it. But you're not here to live someone else's life. You're here to find what YOU truly love to do (remember, both the pleasure AND pain), and then SERVE PEOPLE with it. There's never a shortage of opportunities, money, or fulfilment for those who are courageous enough to follow this path.

I really needed this! I went to college and had no idea what I wanted to major in. I changed my major a few times and ended up sticking with communications because it was versatile. Jobs I was interested in at that time were journalism and social media marketing. I ended up doing internships for both and ended up not really enjoying those certain career paths. After graduating I felt lost and was thinking a lot about jobs that interest me and I would research about them to see if they were jobs that I would actually enjoy doing. Most of the time I would search up videos on KZbin like “day in the life as (job title)” and would see the tasks that they would do and if I would be happy doing them. Right now I’m at the point where I’m really lost and have no idea what I want to do. Every time I try to imagine myself in a career, my mind would just go blank. I’m going to try out these tips and hopefully it can lead me to something as I still have hope! ☺️

@@McMilesE that seems like a great career path! What I did when I was thinking of careers that required me to go back to school was I always researched what the major offers, what type of jobs you can get out of the major, what are the tasks that you would e doing for those jobs, how much is the salary for those jobs, and is there a growth in jobs. Most of the time I would also look at Indeed and LinkedIn and search for the jobs related to the major and see the job postings. Going back to school is a lot of money and time so I would research everything I can possible.

When you learn to code, you'll eventually learn about context switching in operating systems. Then you'll realize why 13 minutes a day didn't get you where you needed to be. Because each switch has overhead, and for coding, you're spending ~10 minutes reading back to where you were when you put down the last 13 minutes of work. So you get ~3 minutes of new work in. Your 90 minutes a week could be spent on a Monday night, or if you make it 13 minutes daily, its whittled down to just 20 odd minutes.

And what do you do when you have absolutely no idea what you want to do? Where do you start searching ??

@heyyou274 Жыл бұрын

Start figuring out what you don't like doing. And I don't mean specific jobs but work situations. For example if you dislike constantly meeting people that you've never seen before, then don't become a medical doctor, sales representative, consultant... That way you can narrow down the choices.

Get some hands on experience in a heap of different fields. And like the other person said you can definitely get rid of what you don’t want to do. Things like high stress jobs, outdoors vs indoors etc. For example I always knew I would despise working solely in an office and that cuts out a heap of potential jobs for me.

To be honest, it feels so frustrating where you don’t know where to start searching, where to find answers. I’ve been through that myself, and in the process I found astrology, I just wanted to find an answer for what career, company or job should I look for. So I studied astrology for several years to find an answer, and I got it. It made total sense to me, and now I’m working on making this career vision happen. I must say that, in this process, it was important to let go the ego part that didn’t want to change some old versions of myself but it’s a process. Finding an answer is just the beginning.

The way I figured out from talking to other people how to decide what career and occupation you want is to get a general education in college to get an idea of where your best knowledge area is, know your abilities, and skills and obviously it should be based off your desires, passions, interests, values, and what's important to you. If you search your community through your local library or local colleges you can find resources to help that like aptitude tests and career exploration to get a description of each job and to learn other things about. Then you pick a college based on its credentials and how they meet your needs if they do and how their reputation is and get a basic knowledge of that school and what they offer. It's good to make a resume with not just job experience but any possible volunteering, your interests, skills, abilities, and hobbies and a description of yourself. Its also good to prepare for interviews by knowing questions they might ask.

Thank you for this video. I have been a veterinarian for 12 years. I had niggling from the beginning that it wasn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life. Those nigglings got louder and louder in the years. I have reached an impasse and now looking at what careers are out there that would be my home. I’m just at the beginning… thank you for showing me that it can be done!

I’m 24 years old I studied medicine since I was 17 in university I did very well but did not enjoy it at all. When I wanted to leave and study engineering because I enjoy it and find I could help a lot more people that way but I got very negative feedback on my thoughts so I stuck in medicine. I have never regretted anything in my life than this decision.

Tip 1: think about the tasks that you would be doing on a day-to-day basis rather than the title. A lot of your happiness is governed by your day-to-day. Tip 2: what would ME+ be doing basically a more Indepth explanation of tip 1.what kind of tasks is your "me+ doing" on a day-to-day basis? Tip 3: Journal your time and what you're doing. Similar to how a personal trainer audits their diet and what they eat do the same thing with your day this also emphasizes tip 2 by putting a + or - sign next to activities that you enjoyed or didn't enjoy Tip 4: 13 minutes a day = 90 minutes a week towards building in a skill that is useful/in your future that your me+ version needs Tip 5: You don't need to go back to university. I agree with this one forsure because you can get education online anywhere now. Tip 6: its okay to change ur mind completely. The illusion that as u get older the harder it is to change is NOT true..people underestimate their ability to change as they get older way too much Tip 7: Draw it out look at all the things you enjoy and find overlap

Tip 5 only works in a country where being "self-made" or "self-taught" carries weight with employers. In some countries, having a degree is a prerequisite, and without it, you won't be considered for the role.

What hinges you to finding the work you love is your uniqueness. I think we go off with this perception that the title will make us love the career but it’s opposite the purpose makes you love the career and you have to figure out. How can you purposely give back and show up every day. ❤ I encourage you not to put so much pressure on yourself and just be open to what you can be.

The tips in this video are good but I think the Japanese author of a book called "yaritai koto no mitsukekata (the method of finding what you really want to do)" has a more systematic and sure way of finding what kind of career you would genuinely love. Basically, you need to understand yourself to find your values, what you are good at (similar to tip 1 in this video, you enjoy doing the tasks you are good at), and what you like. When all these 3 are aligned, which is very similar to Ikigai, then that is the career you would love. The book has many questions to really understand yourself and it has really helped me. Unfortunately the book is in Japanese, but I think the author is in the works of spreading his seminars to other parts of the world.

As a high school counselor, I believe this emphasis on 'finding your passion' is oftentimes oversimplified. Before he/she can 'find their passion," the average individual has to first deal with a lot of psychological baggage/attitudes that unconsciously hold back the individual - something that's beyond the time & resource constraints that most people are willing to put in. Additionally, it seems that these 'passions' (for most people) seem to start as any structured activity the individual is FORCED to do that 'becomes habit,' that they then interpret as 'them being good at it.' This is the main part - if you're good at something, you enjoy doing it, and a passion develops. You don't "find your passion." You develop it.

I just do something I'm good at so I can do it quickly and work less than 8 hrs a day from home. I love that I get paid well for doing something so low effort for me. I have no passion for anything in a "devote your life to it" sort of way, and I don't think everyone has to have that. I like to do tons of different things in short bursts.

Having graduated as a civil engineer, I always wanted to design and help people. I kept applying for jobs as an engineer being an international student in Australia. But after 100s of job interviews and spending thousands of dollars on my cv, networking and improving LinkedIn I am still stuck in a limbo. Sometimes you have the passion, the skills you need to be working and implementing your ideas. But then your conditions and luck are not on your favour. Sometimes it’s just not enough….

Thank you! You have absolutely confirmed what I interpreted to have been functional echolalia in myself. In particular the use of quotes to express an exact feeling/thought to describe the situation. I met my husband almost 10 years ago at a party and we were sitting next to each other, the only ones at the table not engaged in conversation. I addressed the awkwardness by quoting Ralph Wiggum “so… do you like stuff?” To which he replied “my cat’s breath smells like cat food” 😍 I hadn’t heard of scripting before this video, but funnily enough I used this on our first date as was so nervous I wouldn’t have anything to say so had made am mental list of conversation topics to pull from if needed 🙈

This is why present education pathways at the moment are actually road blocks instead of being catalysts. It holds you back into institutional thinking instead of actually visualizing, experiencing what it being laid in front of you. Just because the paths of the ones before us have been laid, doesnt mean anyone of us cant move ways. The institutional way of teaching, learning and experiencing lacks the basic power of an indiviual which is to individuate and have great discernment.
