What Should Your Career Be?

By Linda Bitser


There is a lot to think about when you are graduating high school or simply looking for a career change. The idea of, "What do I want to do with my life" often comes into play. There are many things that a person should consider when thinking about their career. For starters, what do you like to do? What do you enjoy doing? What makes you happy? I once met a 45 year old woman that always dreamed of being a chef. She spent her whole life in accounting and decided to change her career. She said that the change made her feel alive again.

People often feel like they are living a life to please other people. Careers often make people happy because its where they spend most of their time. When a person is spending time with something that they are passionate about, it doesn't feel like work. Work is something that most people feel is a pain. When you look at your life, you should feel a sense of happiness. When you choose a career, make sure that ou can accomplish what you set out to do. If you want to be a pastor, you will need a masters of divinity degree. Are you prepared to spend 3 years in seminary to get that degree? If you don't have a bachelors, you are looking at around 7 years.

If you had a parent to teach you good things about life, you would have gone in a good direction. You must learn how to examine your life and go after something that makes complete sense to you. Learning more about your career takes time. You need to educate yourself and learn something that makes you feel happy. Life is often something that keeps you intrigued. When you work on your profession, it begins to make complete sense to you. It is always good to examine your heart and what you are most capable of.

Life is learning about new things. When your career makes you feel unhappy, it is time to change what you are doing. Sometimes a career in health or beauty will make you feel happy. Many people like having a career in medical billing or sports. You will find that people's interests vary. It is good that we all don't want to have the same exact career. It is always best to have good ideas when it comes to a job.

Learning a new trade does not have to be difficult. It does require you to have a lot of passion. Life often gives us many turns. We are sometimes so excited about something and then we get unhappy about something else. It is important to learn more about our own inner happiness. Once we feel like our world is changing for the better, we begin to feel a sense of happiness. As they say, "Do what you love." I think that you will enjoy life more as you begin to step out in a career that makes you feel happy.
