3. Other people can give you ideas to explore, but a career is something you have to design from the ground up, like a house (or castle!). The first thing to consider is love. What do you love doing? What would you really enjoy doing? This is the PASSION part of every great career. Take the time to explore various activities and DO them and see how you FEEL about them. TALENT Next, it's not enough to "like to do something." You have to be fairly good at it, and keep getting better. WORLD'S NEED Even if you become "good at something you like to do," you must focus your passion and talent on fulfilling a NEED experienced by other people. Do you understand what I mean? Only by fulfilling a need can you get paid. Otherwise, it's just a hobby. MEANING If you answer the above three questions (what is my passion? what is my talent? what is the need I'm serving?), then you're on track for an amazing career that makes you fee ALIVE every day while paying you good money. The last ingredient is meaning, that is, the degree to which your work is aligned with what you believe in. This comes naturally with age and experience, so I would not worry about it so much. One thing to consider before taking any career aptitude test, is that nobody can tell you, whether in person or through an expert system like aptitude tests, what career path is best for you. Only you can determine that, based on how you feel about the careers or related activities you explore. It's the degree to which you enjoy the activity, that will indicate to you if a career is best for you. Joseph Campbell offered the best advice: "Follow your bliss." When you follow your bliss (or choose a career based on your passion), money will follow you. Money always follows people who engage in joyful creation. But when you leave something as important as a career choice to a standardized test, you forget your inner guidance system, and that leads to professional unhappiness.
