Choose a career you’re going to love
Right now, you may be working at a part-time job at the mall or supermarket, and I can probably guess correctly that you don’t love it. In fact, you just might hate it, and I doubt you would ever want to be working there for the rest of your life.
The career you choose to go after is most likely the career you’re going to have for the rest of you working life until retirement. You could go back to school later to change your job, but that takes time and can be a hassle and nobody starts a career expecting to do something else in the future.
This is why you should be careful and choose a job you know you’re going to love.
Don’t just look at the money. Just because a job pays a lot doesn’t mean you will be happy doing it. Still keep in mind that just because it pays well doesn’t mean you’re going to be unhappy. Money doesn’t equal happiness or unhappiness it all depends on whether you like the job and lifestyle or not. Don’t use money as a deciding factor unless you think you won’t be able to survive on what it pays.
If you’ve done the internships, gotten the four year degree, and finally got your dream job and hate it, take action. You might just need to give it some time. It was your dream job, right?
If you still hate it after giving it some time, don’t stay. Make sure you do what makes you happy.
You only have one life to live and you will probably be working through most of it. Do what makes you happy. It’s a simple, yet effective point to live by.
