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.

...And if you have Adhd like me and looking back you wanted to be everything! An astronaut, astronomer, computer scientist, computer programmer, make up artist for TV, actor, psychologist, teacher, architect, doctor, entrepreneur, health promotion, sales person, fashion designer, TV lighting technician, traveller, presenter, radio DJ, owner of amusement park, wildlife expert and the list goes on and on etc etc etc😂😂😂

For those reading this, don't forget about the courage and the faith that IT WILL WORK OUT. Or maybe it doesn't even have to work out. You only have to try. Have faith that what you like can be rewarded.

90 minutes a week is how much time I tell my beginner piano students to practice. That’s a great benchmark and good to know it applies elsewhere in life!

[travelingbeyondboundaries]

I'm currently in the career I thought I always wanted. Spent my entire childhood and young adult years focused on getting here. Ten years in and things have changed so much that I now dread going to work every day. It's terrifying to need to leave it because I have a good income with good benefits but I feel myself slowly dying inside.

I wish school would teach this rather than push for us to attend college for the sake of it.

3 months ago I left my high paying job, moved my family to Mexico, and now what I do all day is pursuing my dream career - to create video. It's scary, but exciting!

Also, if you enjoy something but you know it may not be a profitable or practical career, you can pick it up as a hobby or side hustle. That way, your hobbies aren't tainted by the pressures of a job either

So true, so important to remember that happiness comes from your everyday and that's what you need to focus on. Also so important to look at the tasks that you want to do to make the decision completely agree. Embracing change is another important one. Great video!

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 ❤️

Your intended career may not be giving you lots of money from the onset,
But if you focus fully on it relentlessly, you will get absolutely everything from it; money, impact, fulfillment, satisfaction and mind-blowing connections with people who will value your career path🔥

[eminabahtanovic]

[sachavetstudent]

About to quit vet school at 27 years old after very challenging mental difficulties, and I have had trouble not feeling bad about changing my mind about being a veterinarian, because of all the "title's" shine and the society's point of view. This video really helped me, thank you so much ❤

[cnruopi]

I've watched probably 10 TED talks and other videos searching for this answer but none have resonated as much as yours did. You've brilliantly explained and given tools to both those who know want they want and those who dont know what they want and been so validating at echoing that we change over time. 13 mins a day omg you've made that so manageable. OMG, I cant be thankful enough... I have been struggling for so long with this feeling of emptiness that I no longer want to be in my field that I've spent years studying for but now I dont know what else to do, that I dont have the energy to study at uni again, and just cant figure things out. Did so many career tests, looked through entire job lists, searched for rare jobs or whatever to just try to figure out what resonates with me, what is it that I want to do... Thank you so much.. I'll get going with this exercise.. Once again, hearty thanks :)
