Struggling to figure out where you want to be professionally? You are not alone.
It can be difficult to decipher what kind of career you would like to pursue when there are so many options to choose from. While it can seem overwhelming much of the time it is important to consider what career route you would like to take so that you can make the best choices to get you there. Below are some things to ask yourself when considering what career you would like to pursue.
What Interests You?
This might sound obvious, though chances are you will go a lot further in a career that interests you rather than one you will get bored of. There are career opportunities to suit all kinds of interests, so identifying your passions can be a critical step to ensure you feel motivated to chase your professional goals.
What Lifestyle Do You Want?
Inevitably, the things you want out of life will have a direct correlation with your career prompting you to consider what is important to fulfil your lifestyle goals. This includes a range of factors such as what location you want to base yourself in, if a high salary is important to you and what kind of work-life balance you will need.
How Do You Get There?
When you are considering a certain path take the time to research what kind of qualifications and requirements are needed. A simple way to do this is to look at job openings for roles that you would potentially be going for. This will clarify how much education you’ll need and how much industry experience is valued, which can save you a lot of time and money otherwise spent on degrees that have little relevance to the field.
