[@skyjeanne7232]

Everything needs time, even recognizing ourselves. Most people don't have that patience. But we can't blame them either for maybe they have loans to pay and don't even think that their passion is important and those time we reflect on ourselves won't pay any of our paychecks. But to those who have the priviledge to know their passion, and can follow it, I hope they have patience to endure anything that happen because I always remember this phrase "with a great power comes great responsibility", so it will never be easy.

This is well-informed and sheds light on how impactful it is to become aware of the systems in which we live and have learned to identify ourselves within! Identity absolutely matters, and this is because of the way our society works today and the system of values and hierarchies that are so deeply ingrained. To learn about the world is to learn how we've ended up exactly where we are..

Thanks for sharing. So much of our career is affected by conscious and unconscious factors. However, we also can allow ourselves to creating our own career identity.

[@qisiangng1611]

I have a big issue with this notion of career identity. What happens if our career identity is one that is a dead end? What if society and the market do not value the talent and uniqueness we bring? In a perfect world, what she says is correct. But the disturbing truth is that many of us will not have the opportunity to live out our identity. You can be anything you want to be, as long as it is banker, tech entrepreneur, or programmer. The rest of us may just have to make do…

[@naseem7927]

An excellent question, that unfortunately has an obvious negative solution. The current world we live in is competitive and ever changing, like fashion trends. So the best solution is to have multiple skills that can be useful in landing a job and helps one be the best in whatever field they are in.

[@timothyufr]

I think if there's a passion that you've discovered through understanding yourself, you just to try to make it happen. Just try and see what happens. If you fail, congrats, you tried very hard to achieve something that is very important to you, look at the man/women you've become, look at the journey you went through and the challenges that you've faced but thought at first that are too hard for you but you still overcame them. That's it really.

[@Werevertumoto]

That is not the end of the road in my opinion. I think you can certainly find spot in society where your talents and career identity are put to use, in various degrees.

[@annettehansen6047]

From my experience and hearing the experiences of others I realized if you don't know what you want to do or are trying to chose from more than one option is to get a general education in college and you'll get an idea of your areas of knowledge, abilities, skills and base them on your passions, desires, interests, and values. You want to research schools and find which one best meets your needs. You can make a resume with not just your job experience but any volunteering, skills, abilities, accomplishments, personality traits, hobbies, and interests. It's also good to prepare for interviews by thinking of possible questions they might ask.

[@johnsmithh662]

I have been a cop since I graduated college in 2019. I was super successful and was voted Officer of the year twice and also promoted to Corporal and then sergeant as one of the youngest officers in the department. However, I was always feeling like I wasn’t satisfied with what I was doing. I always have been fascinated with aviation since I was a young kid and decided to follow that path. I halted my policing career and took out a large loan to pursue flight training. But now I find myself questioning if I was following my heart or just needed a break from what I was doing. The thing is that I can see myself doing both. They both take time away from the family in different ways that make me second guess myself sometimes. However, I really think it’s like marriage. When you realize there is no “the one” person for you and it’s really about you deciding to make them “the one”. It’s not always going to be fun and will definitely have its fair share of bad days. But I think you just need to realize that everything no matter what it is will be like that sometimes. You have to be the one to decide and understand that you started down that path for a reason.

Its a very ironic time we live in. We want nice things, we want a well functioning society we want order, but then it’s hard for us to accept it. Some of the most boring jobs are vital to a good society. I agree with people, I myself struggle with the same thing, I hate boring jobs. So it’s a struggle and battle. If we all went and made a lot of money or everyone chased their dream it would be hard on a well functioning society. But at the same time the we all want freedom and creativity. Paradoxical time period we live in. Also, as we further our economy and technology things are becoming easier to consume on a large basis, not to long ago a small house with a few basic items we’re a blessing, now having so many nice things are normal. Again I am on both sides, I love technology and traveling and living a fun life, but at the same time it makes it harder to enjoy a simple life

[@damanredarnishu5509]

[@oyehoyesyaapa]

This is a well structured invitation for self reflection. However, if you're looking for a quick fix with immediate career solution, something that involves a list of things to follow. This is NOT it. The video is quite resourceful if you're looking to truly self reflect about the state of 'you' that best matches your social/outside world. Draw an understanding of where your idea of 'self' is, in the social context of life. Following which deciding on a social identity that you feel best corresponds with the 'truest' idea of self-personification. Then comes the job longevity/security... its well worth watching the first 12:26 of it :P

Not necessarily you’ll have to commit to one of them to the rest of your life! If I understood you, you like ‘vet tech’ and marine biology, idk if I’m right, but does vet tech has to do with veterinary? Well, if it has, than marine biology and vet tech can deff be connected, you can do a minor, or even double major and work w both intthe future. About your art root, you can totally have that as a side hustle, you can take art calsses to perfection your tecnic and start posting you comics on the internet. Also, you have to have a lot of self-knowledge to see if one of those passions are hobbies or careers, sometimes when you transform smt that you liked and was your hobbie in a career, it can ‘take out the glow of it’, bc yk, when working w smt, even though you’re passionate abt it, it can be stressful sometimes.

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

Here is a method I use to choose a career---used it young and now middle age and it worked both times. A few weeks ago I told my subscribers how to know if it is time to change careers or just a venue in the one you have. So now you know you have to change careers completely. What do you do? How do you decide? In a nutshell I advised to first list all sectors of work fields. IE Medical, social work, law enforcement, business, technology, trades. That gives you the general interest of where you want to be. For example--all business for me is out. BUT, you may love the art of the deal. Then you list the jobs in that sector. IE trades ---electrician plumber mechanic. Business--marketing, finance, stockbroker. Medical--nurse, doctor, physical therapist. This seems simple but it works. You just narrow down sector then narrow down all jobs in that sector. Then you make your plan how to get there. Most people when they want to change careers just go into panic mode. The formula above makes it simple and stress free to see what you want to do next for forty hours a week. Hope this helps---Charles

I’m struggling with making the decision right now. I’ve just started a full-time job a month ago. Before that, I do coaching kids badminton the evening. That’s why i was looking for a routine job at a daytime. Now, I got it. I got what i thought it would fit for me. Unfortunately, i feel so confused. I didn’t enjoy my full time job. Not happy at all. I feel like I love my coaching job more. I should do the coaching job more serious. Is this just too soon to judge or should I go for the job that i really enjoy and make it better and better?😢

[@mauersegler]

My problem is that my decision of future career isn't social. I don't have any friends, my parents don't care who am as long as I'm happy and I don't have any biases. Heck, I would love to wash the floor for the rest of my life if it was paid well. But it's not. And there's nothing I'm good at that I'm passionate about. I love math, but I struggle with basic examples like subtraction or division (dunno why, I guess I'm just a dummy). I love drawing, but I can't draw, I made zero progress over the years despite me being mesmerized by the process. I love studying, but there's no such profession. And I'm really good at learning languages. But I will never make it into job, because there's nothing more easy and boring for me than translating. I'd rather go and tinker with my equations. And so, I think I've been cursed.

Girl, you just described me! I’m in the same boat and I’m 26 :/ I hope you find your passion soon!

[@jasminecontreras7341]

@@MR-yv5vu I hope you find yours too 😩 it’s so confusing bc I’m constantly like “maybe I should just pick something that contributes to society that I could make my livelihood so I could just start doing something and making more money” but on the other hand I also think to myself “I have the option to live at home with my parents until I figure out and it seems like a lot of other people are living at home and figuring themselves out in their mid twenties so should I just continue doing online research until I figure out a career path that I really wanna pursue?” The hardest thing to think about for me is thinking about how much time I’m going to spend in the career that I choose. 8 hours a day 5 days a week is a lot with only 2 weeks or so a year of vacation time to see other countries so I want to make sure whatever I’m spending my time doing is something that could allow me to learn a variety of things. I tried community college when I was 20-22 and I changed my major 3x in that short time period so I just stopped going until I could figure it out. It doesn’t help that my parents both have advanced degrees, my dad having a phd and being retired sometimes tries to persuade me to get my bachelors but I don’t want to go into debt when I feel like if I keep looking I could sort through all of the careers out there and find a path where I could make a decent living and teach myself enough about something without a degree. Like Sharon said in her talk, it sucks having everyone around you trying to influence you to take a certain path in life. I don’t know what to do but at this point I’m ready to pick something random and hate my job and my life like everyone else lol

The greater the automated income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off automated income since July 6, 2016. You’ve got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.

One VERY important message missing: Employers do NOT support the "Design Thinking" model. They want someone who has been in the same job for 5/10/15+ years.

Our identity comes from our creator, God. He made us for a purpose. He gave us unique gifts to achieve that purpose. Just like a manufacturer made a vehicle for a purpose.
