What jobs to do to ensure a stable and comfortable lifestyle can be a very challenging task to an individual. Research revealed that more than 65% of the working adults do not enjoy what they are doing at work.
While we can intoxicate ourselves in endless education years to delay making the choice towards choosing our career, it is more often than not self-defeating and a waste of time.
Time is such a precious asset that I cannot stress enough its importance. It is given to us so that we can make the most out of our life. Spending time studying stuff you have wavering interests in, or does not have a promising future is a painful waste of your precious time.
So what can you do?
I agree that choosing a career path is an extremely delicate and important process for an individual. This is what determines how enjoyable your life will be.
Here's a good news: You are totally in control of that choice.
Only you will know what is best for yourself. What a third person like myself can do, is to lay out the big picture; find out your interest then offer advice; and determine your capabilities to provide you with options which you might consider taking up.
Finding your interest
Since everyone has the capabilities to do anything that he or she sets their mind to do, the decisive factor then lies in your interest.
Taking on a job that you are extremely handy at; but have totally no passion in doing it is not going to make your life enjoyable, agree? You'll eventually be bored.
One can babble on and on about the benefits of so and so industries and how it will become the new big thing. But if it is not your cup of tea, it is not your cup of tea. It still balls down to what interests you most.
However, finding your interests can also be not as simple as it sounds.
We humans have a range of things we enjoy doing, it is subjective.
One moment you can find yourself worked up about going on a bike hike and another moment you just want to stay home and indulge in the virtual world.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being fickle. We all have the right to do what we want to do whenever we want to do it. The thing to ask yourself will be, what benefit will the things you are doing bring you? How efficient has your precious asset been utilized?
Don't worry if you have lots of stuff that you would enjoy doing. In fact, its a good thing that your interest lies in many areas. Because, it shows how flexible you are, and the more flexible you can be, the better you thrive.
Spending time thinking about your interest and how you can turn it into your career is time worth spending on. Instead of watching TV or going shopping, why not take some time out and contemplate what kind of life you want to lead? Isn't that more beneficial?
Do yourself the favour of thinking about your future. Your own future is more important to you than anybody else isn't it?
