"So.. what would you like your future career to be?" is the nationwide question asked daily by parents, teachers, mentors, colleges, etc. to students approximately 16-18 saying farewell to their high school days. Maybe you're a student already in college, wondering where to turn because you hate every Econ class you're taking in order to earn a business degree (because it's practical). Or, better yet, maybe you're a middle-aged adult still trying to find your calling in life. Whichever end of the spectrum you may fall, it's never too late to do something every day that you love while still living a sustainable lifestyle. However, you certainly must be willing to open your mind to diverse ideas and far-fetched aspirations.
I, myself, as a sophomore earning my bachelor's degree still ask myself what field I fit in the best. What am I good at? What do I love to do? What are my values? Of course, these are all very important questions one needs to ask themselves in order to find their niche. What I have discovered recently though is that "your passion" is not something you stumble upon. Your passion is something that is already within you (yes, I am aware of how cheesy that sounds.. but trust me.) "Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?" Below is a list of questions/tips in order to guide the lost souls still trying to figure it out.
