How Can I Discover My Talents and Find a Career Path I Truly Love ?

Hello everyone, I’m currently an administrator at a company’s employment office, but I’m on a journey to discover my true passion and career path. I understand that the best career for me should align with my abilities and interests, allowing me to work with enthusiasm rather than just waiting for the day to end. Here’s some background about me: My colleagues say I’m very talkative and good at communicating with people, especially in commercial fields. Five years ago, I dreamed of becoming a bodybuilding coach, as fitness and supplements fascinated me. Back then, I could work for 12 hours without feeling tired. However, I’m not sure if I still have the same passion for it. I graduated with a degree in database technology. While I have skills in technology, I find that I’m more of a social and community-oriented person. I thrive when working with people and enjoy leadership roles. People often say I have strong leadership skills, patience, responsibility, and loyalty. They also mention that I leave a positive impact wherever I go. On the downside, I’m a deep thinker, which sometimes leads to social anxiety. I know I want to build something of my own and create a career that reflects my strengths. However, I’m struggling to identify my talents, abilities, and the right path for me. I’d love to hear advice from professionals and experts: How can I identify my true talents and abilities? How can I find a career path that aligns with my personality, interests, and skills? Thank you for taking the time to read my story and share your insights.

I love school but I've learned that I hate being in the workforce. How can I be sure to get a job I will enjoy after I graduate?

I can't stay in school forever. I graduate with my MFA (yes, I'm going for specialization), but I'm worried that after I'm specialized, I still won't be able to find a job I enjoy. #workforce #career #career-advising #finding-a-major #passion
