Family, friends or societal notions in general can force you down a path that you do not want to follow. What if both your parents and your siblings were doctors? Does that mean you have to become a doctor too? Not if you don’t want to. Your career takes up a good deal of your life. Don’t let other people decide your future for you. Take the time to get to know yourself first so that you can embark on a career that will make you happy and also allow you to make a living.
The first step is to identify your interests. What subjects or hobbies do you love to do? Are you interested in art, business or maybe wood design? If you think you don’t have a hobby then you’re probably wrong. Even watching television can be a hobby. When you watch TV, are you interested in the way television programming is scheduled or how shows are made? You can do a lot of career brainstorming by thinking about the mundane tasks you do each day.
Identifying your hobbies and interests will help you to deduce your strengths and skills. What kind of skills help you excel in your hobbies. For example, painters are seen as very creative and non-confirming individuals. In fact, painting utilizes skills that can be transferred to other activities. Setting up your paint supplies and mixing together different colors can be very technical business. Painting can also involve a lot of organization. You have to sketch out your drawing, transfer your drawing to a canvas, and plan how you want to lay down your layers of paint. The Old Masters regularly used mathematics to organize their paintings. Finding you skills will allow you to narrow down your search.
When evaluating your career options, you must be honest with yourself. Weigh your interests and your skills to help you find a path. Research areas that you would like to work in and then create a plan of attack. Maybe you dream of becoming a concert violinist but you’ve never taken a music class in your life. Be realistic about your goals. You will have to be committed and motivate yourself to follow the path you desire. If possible, expose yourself to the environment that you want to work in. This will give you some first hand experience that can help you decide if you enjoy the work or not.
