Good advice. The biggest mistake I see is young people moving out and getting trapped in survival mode. Take full advantage while you still can.

FYI, it's free to take the test but costs money to get the results so don't waste your time if you want a free test

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.

"Try career hunter for FREE" Proceeds to take test and then you ask for an email at the end to get the results. Then once I provide an email you say I need to pay to unlock the results. Nice trick.

I had a plan for my for my future since I was eleven I was going to go into the marines and then maybe special ops but due to a severe knee injury that I needed to have a major surgery on i no longer have that option so I have been watching a lot of career videos and this one has been the most helpful so far so thank you!

[diegopugaescobar]

Wow thank you, definitely taking these tips into more than consideration!

[xliu]

I always skip the first several steps and jump into the job research and end up with a horrible job before... Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try. Wishing you all find your dream job!

[ambroseghost]

I did not have access to career counseling as a youth in a rural area and from a background that was heavily religious, and being homeschooled also set me back, but at least my tiny Christian high school gave students the option to take what's known as the Kuder career aptitude test. Thing is, I got wildly impractical and somewhat outdated career suggestions - my best match was Poet (and yes, I love poetry and creative writing); second best match was, I believe, Broadway director, and third best match was Home Economics teacher. Most high schools no longer offer Home Economics classes anymore. More recently I - as a 29 year-old - took an online career test that seemed legit and got the result "Dancer."

My undergraduate degrees are in the performing arts (music, theatre studies) and I currently work a job in tourism in my hometown (director of a small museum where I started out as the receptionist/admin assistant) where my hourly pay is comparable to that of a public school teacher. I am doing better than others my age, I suppose. But I still wish I'd had more guidance when I was young towards a fulfilling career that actually exists in the 21st century and would actually be compensated in the real world. In my country, the U.S., funding for the arts is abysmal. They never actually tell you this, though. Also being raised religiously, there's the expectation that a male is supposed to whisk you away and provide a home and be the breadwinner. This has not actually happened to me or to any other young woman I know. My mom, who was a homeschool mom and did not work outside our home for the vast majority of my growing up years (she now helps run a local coffee shop and is thriving), is a throwback even for her generation, yet the housewife / stay-at-home mom thing was normalized and made to be the default mode for a woman where I'm from. Maybe that was possible prior to the '90s, but for women my age, no man seems to want a wife that stays at home. So I try really hard to avail myself of these kinds of free resources on YouTube and I'm debating taking certification courses at my local community college to find something I can tolerate doing that won't take long to train for and pays about what I earn now or more. There are just so many options and I don't know what would be the best fit.

Great practical and straightforward video on career path choosing.

[kingdonut]

Once I saw that it was animated I thought it was gonna be a crappy video because for some reason self help videos on YouTube that are animated tend to be trash but I was pleasantly surprised.

[DaMusicluvT]

I wish I would’ve did my research sooner. Thanks for the video.

I'm a registered pharmacist and I've been working as a community pharmacist for 3 years. In my 3 years i really didnt grew or loved my field. i'm having a hard time on thinking what career path should i take. I want to work in a supermarket or dept store or office but my parents keep on telling me that i should be working in my field since i have a license. but i really dont like my field. They just forced me to take Pharmacy that's why I am like this now. no goals, and having a hard time to look for a right career for me
