Enise’s Answer

Hello Sophia. As I read this post, I would like to give some advice on this particular thoughts.

I am not a professional, yet I once asked my mentor similar to this question and she said that I could have a think about a career work and find my passion once I discover my talent with hobbies, or discovered new talent when I worked in non profit organizations (volunteering), and/or internships with the company, and/or I had previously experienced in a company I worked and loved.

All previous career experience can be worth for your CV. If you have not experienced any of these opportunities (volunteering etc.), you may start with volunteering or internship, so you can develop your soft and hard skills with SMART technique, and find your new talent if you do not have yet.

I hope this helps.

Dan’s Answer

Think about what you really love to do. Then figure out how to make money doing it! I jus saw a story about a lady who loved to bake. Simple enough. Turns out using her Grandmothers cup cake recipe was a huge hit. She now has 10 stores selling cup cakes and is worth about 10 million in annual sales. Seems simple enough, but it is going to be up to you to figure it all out. Also never let people tell you it will not work. If the Wright brothers had done that, where would we be? Good luck!

James’s Answer

I believe that finding a job that you love revolves around many aspects of what you seek in a job. Things like the type of work you want to do, the environment etc. I believe there has to be a balance of working in a position that you would like to work on daily as well as providing financial stability. Even if you find a job that checks all the boxes, you won't really know until you start working. I think you will get a better idea once you have worked at different companies.

Niha’s Answer

Truthfully, this is can be a hard line to walk on. What we love/are passionate about isn't always conducive to earning potential. So, how do we decide?

1) Jobs aren't perfect. No matter how much you love what you do, there will always be aspects of a job that you will come to dislike; it's just the nature of doing one type of work for a long time. You need to decide what allowances you're willing to deal with (for example, someone who likes biology and teaching may become a college professor even if they don't like research, as it has increased earning potential compared to a high school biology teacher).

2) Determine if it is at all possible for something you love to be your job realistically. If every job in the field has things you're not willing to do, it may not be possible for you to do work in that field.

3) Find other ways to fulfil your life. If you have a job that you like instead of love, but has good hours and pay, you can fill your down time with the things you love or are passionate about, which can be just as rewarding.

Overall, sit down and take a realistic look. List your interests and look at fields and jobs available to you. Make a spreadsheet that has all those jobs, with categories that are important (ie, average or median income, hours of work each week, etc), and check off what they do and don't provide you in those categories. If there aren't any, or they don't match what you're willing to do, then think about next steps such as #3.

Avdhesh’s Answer

You should know about your interest, choose whatever field you are interested in, then you should consult with the experience person about your interest.
Collect all the information like, how the job will get, how much salary you will get, and whether you will like the job or not. Enjoy your own life.
Thankyou
