Thank you for your question. If the career you have interest, you can find it fulfilling and satisfactory. Firstly, you need to find careers you have interest
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers
Eg if you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc
If you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music composer, music producer, etc
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hello Karia,
I love that you want a career that you'll enjoy and that also does good in the world. Finding a job you love usually means a few things: It fits what you believe in, you feel like you're doing something important, and you can see the results of your work. Think about what parts of a job are exciting to you – maybe it's helping people, figuring out tough problems, or being part of something bigger.
Think about how a job will help you learn and grow, both at work and as a person. When you feel appreciated and see that your work matters, it can be really satisfying and keep you going. A truly fulfilling job is one where you're excited to go to work, knowing you're making a real difference.
Your desire to find such a career is a noble pursuit, and I encourage you to trust your instincts and seek out opportunities that align with your passions and aspirations.
Best wishes!

I think you can accomplish both goals that you are asking about the career you choose for yourself. A career that makes you feel good and at the same time makes a change in the world. I would start by asking yourself - what would make you feel good? Are you sure you know the answer to that question? If not - it's ok because a lot of people actually don't know the answer to that question which is why they try different things in life as far as career path and sometimes you don't know until you try if this career you chose is your cup of tea or not. That is one way to find out what you want to do. Another way of course is when you know what you like and what makes you feel good working on and with. There are lots of tools to determine what you like. I personally like the book called "What Color Is Your Parachute". It helps you open up your mind and your thinking to possibilities you have not maybe considered or even knew before. And to answer your other question - what could you do that will bring the positive change in the world you might want to explore things that help people with basic needs. Think of clean drinking water, healthy nutritious food, maybe even going into counseling and helping other to cope with things they could be struggling. There are so many people out there who need help. For example, maybe you want to become a headhunter who specialize on helping veterans transition into civil jobs in the community or perhaps you might want to be a counselor for kids and youth that somehow got in trouble and now face legal or even health issues. Opportunities are endless Karla and I want to congratulate you for asking a great question because everything starts from a desire to help, an idea that you want to make a change in the world! I wish you success in your next chapter in your life and in everything you do.

Ah, the eternal quest for a job that doesn’t just pay the bills but also gives you that warm, fuzzy “I’m-making-the-world-better” feeling! Love that for you.
Okay, so—whether a job is fulfilling is kinda like asking if pineapple belongs on pizza (controversial but deeply personal). What lights someone’s soul on fire might make someone else snore. So, here’s the scoop on how to figure out if this gig is the one:
1. Does it align with your values?
If you’re the type who dreams of making the world a shinier, happier place, does this job let you do that? Are you contributing to something bigger—like helping people, protecting the environment, or sparking joy in others?
2. Are you growing?
Fulfilling jobs keep you on your toes. Are you learning new things? Stretching your skills? Feeling challenged (in a fun, not soul-crushing way)?
3. Do you feel a sense of purpose?
When you wake up in the morning, does this job give you a reason to roll out of bed (other than the paycheck)? If you feel like what you do matters, that’s a BIG sign of fulfillment.
4. Is there human connection?
Jobs where you positively impact people’s lives—whether directly (like a counselor) or indirectly (like an environmental analyst)—can feel incredibly rewarding. Do you get to connect with others and see the impact of your work?
5. Does it match your vibe?
If you’re all about creativity and freedom but the job is strict and rigid, it might feel like wearing shoes two sizes too small. Fulfilling jobs feel like they “fit” your personality and lifestyle.
Alright so I am just gonna say, my path, well, being a doctor can be incredibly fulfilling if you’re driven by the desire to make a real difference in people’s lives. There’s something uniquely rewarding about being there for someone in their most vulnerable moments and knowing that your work directly contributes to improving their health and well-being. The career does demand a lot—years of study, long hours, and the emotional weight of tough decisions—but many find that the impact they have on individuals and communities offers a profound sense of purpose.
What makes a job truly fulfilling often comes down to whether it aligns with your core values and passions. If you’re motivated by a commitment to care for others, a love of science, and a desire for continuous learning, the challenges of being a doctor might be well worth it. The fulfillment often comes not only from the life-saving moments but also from building relationships with patients and seeing them recover and thrive.
In the end, fulfillment is personal. While the path of medicine isn’t easy, if your heart is in it and you’re ready to embrace both the challenges and the rewards, it can be one of the most meaningful ways to contribute to making the world a better place.
Hope this helped clear somethings out Karla, all the best and don't be afraid to shoot out anything run through your curiousity! 😌🤗

Hello and Congrats on your Job Corps Scholarship!
It is important in all aspects of life to find inner peace. That sounds like a lofty goal, but if you can learn how to use mindfulness, it will help you in stressful situations. You are in the right place to learn skills that will help you make a change in the world. While at the Job Corps, you will be doing yourself and the greater community and world a service by getting as much training as possible. You have 3 total years in the Job Corps to complete your basic and advanced or college training of training. That sounds like a long time. But you have the rest of your life ahead of you. Stay positive and avoid negative influences. Ask a lot of questions and keep asking them. Work hard and if you get stressed just think about how big the galaxy is that we live in. When I look at my problems with that perspective, my problems hardly seem to bother me at all. They dont go away, but it refocuses me to solve them and not stress out about it. There is always another challenge. Learn from it and keep going. My career advice is this. What kind of person are you? Do you like working with people, with your hands, in doors, outdoors, sitting down, solving problems? Where do you want to live? Location will determine what the job market is like and how employable you are there. Who do you know? Do you know anyone in a career field you are interested in? Ask them what they like about it and what you need to know to get into it. Good luck, you will do well.

t’s clear you’re having an internal dialogue about purpose, ego, and what it truly means to create change. Wanting to help others and make a difference in the world is a noble desire, but it’s normal to question your motives and wonder if your intentions come from a selfish place. The truth is, personal fulfillment and helping others are not mutually exclusive. They often go hand in hand. Being confident or ambitious doesn’t make you selfish; it means you have the drive to pursue meaningful goals. What matters is how you use that drive. Real change doesn’t always come from grand actions; it often starts with small, meaningful efforts that impact the people around you. You don’t have to solve the world’s biggest problems. Just focus on making a difference where you can. At the same time, kindness and humility are essential. Confidence without compassion is arrogance, but compassion without confidence lacks impact. The most powerful changemakers are those who embrace both strength and empathy. It’s also important to accept that everyone has flaws, and perfection is not the goal; growth is. You’ve already taken a crucial step by reflecting on yourself, because all change starts from within. If you focus on becoming a better version of yourself and lifting others along the way, you’ll create a ripple effect that spreads further than you imagine.
