hi, hey, hello! happy you're here! <3

[shalec]

I’ve had lots of different jobs so far and while what you do is important, who you work for/with can make or break your experience at that job. I found that Good Bosses and Management are key to finding a career you like.

[SritaCaramelo]

Can we also acknoledge that your dream job can change because our needs also change? I feel like it's so hard sometimes to go through the motions of changing careers or aspirations.

I really needed this, I am in last year of high school and I have been a wreck deciding what I want to do. Thank you for the amazing video, really needed this.

[tennesseedarby]

I’m an 18 year old on the cusp of going out into the world, and you definitely called me out when you said you can’t just rely on the information I already have… that’s such a good point

[Waz]

Thanks Erin! I took the career fitter test and struggled a bit through questions because at work I am very different than how I describe myself outside. At work, I am extroverted and give people safe nuggets about myself so as to not give really anything away but make people comfortable and familiar anyways. I have a job in the theater industry which I love but I don’t make a lot of money and it’s not consistent. The test really nailed it though and actually was consistent with how the people I work with see me. I would like to find an additional job that I can support myself financially so I’m thinking of paying the 20$ for the full report because I’m not really sure what jobs are even out there. Sorry this was long just wanted to share in case someone an relate. Thanks as always for the advice, Erin!

Your energy, smile, and vibe is just amazing please continue what you do. 😊👍🏻

[crow_feather]

Thanks so much for this! After realizing that both rhe medical field and helping the homeless, while both wonderful fields for the right people, are definitely not a good fit for me! This is really great advice for helping me figure out the career that is! 💖

It's actually really 'funny', my current aim is actually just getting a regular 9-5 or 6, similar to what you described for 'bob'. My line of thought is this, I've seen way too many people regret, die early, have mental health issues etc, even in their 30s and 40s before they can enjoy the fruits of their labour. Been called lazy, unambitious for that, but is it really? Or it's just a different manifestation of ambition that perhaps people want, but are not brave enough to pursue?

I did my share of 16-18 hours days on my own for 3 years straight out of university and loved it, but it burnt me out. I thought about it for awhile and have decided to take it easy, prioritizing time for my hobbies, life & health in general while still earning a respectable pay. It may change a few years down the line, but that's what it is right now.

I’m so glad I found this channel. I’ve been struggling with finding a career and establishing my life. I’m 31 but the thing I originally wanted to do didn’t work out because I was never able to finish school. I feel like I wasted so much time and I need to find a job that doesn’t require college because that’s not something I can afford and I wasted so much time already

My dream job is being a musician - so yeah... I'm screwed.

[darshiljha]

Hey Erin, I wanted to say the most heartfelt thanks to you for being so insightful on these interview questions, workplace thought process and the job switcheroo processes. I love the way you explain these difficult questions and answer them with ease. Wishing you the best in life!! YOU GOT THIS!!!

[victoriasjourney]

I am working towards starting a horse training business as that Is my dream, but finding a job that I can tolerate that pays enough to help save for land is so hard!

[cutelatina]

I've had a few really good jobs and awful ones too... but i always feel I LOVE WORKING. I think keeping busy makes me happy.
I could just do hobbies instead you say? I'm taking a sabbatical at this very moment and with ALL the free time in the world, i really miss work. Cant wait to get back to it next year!

[samwalker]

graduated with a CS in graphic design with a minor in art history and costume design in 2021. I don't want to be a "graphic designer" and make magazine layout. I wasn't allowed to have social media so I'm still learning how that works and I can develop that skill! I would love something creative. Currently an OM at a small construction franchise. Trying to wow people at corporate and hopefully get an in to their creative department! I'm also trying to start editing and posting content around fashion and beauty. I just don't have any energy to give after the usual 9/10hr day!! I'd like to negotiate somehow to reduce my hours closer to 30 to pursue hobbies and passions and feel like a person again. At this company I'm the only one on customer communications, on/off boarding, financing information and applications, and I order materials for the crew, organize team events and training and strategize with owners and gm to maximize output of the company. Never thought I'd be in this role! I like it, I just want my life back! There's no way to reduce hours though if it's just me :(

[peixuanchua]

Thanks Erin! Very helpful and encouraging as always~❤ Love you and your content!

[jamiewaser]

I hate working with people (introvert) and I hate crafting or sitting at a PC the whole day. I'm screwed...

[TheFadingMan]

She is a great communicator. I'm jealous.

[Samuel]

Wow she's so encouraging sometimes we just need someone to tell us we can do it😅
