You are young so try as many things as you can, especially if it interests you. I'm 28 and I had over 5 jobs until I found what I enjoyed and was good at. This notion that you have to find one thing you will do until you die is ridiculous and also elitist.

100% agree with this as someone who's worked in the creative field for almost 3 years and thinking of a career switch. The panic of 'wasting' my arts degree and multiple diplomas in different art and creative sectors terrified me. But as you've mentioned to make them my hobby, that way I can fully enjoy it without the pressure of making it my work and growing tired of it has been my saving grace and made me less nervous of starting a career change. (Especially coming from someone who wants to do EVERYTHING 😂)

The vibe. The vibe is what's most important. -I've worked HR in the insurance industry. -HR at a medical practice -HR anslyst in the HR IT industry - Business analyst for public health -Scrum Master for pharma The biggest factor of how well I enjoyed my job was the joy and vibe of the culture. The skill - I can adapt to. Consistently crappy people, I can not. Migrating from 20 years HR, namely in smaller( 200-300 ee's) companies to PM /Scrum in a massive org, was a decent shift. There were many ups and downs, but the culture lends heavily to the overall satisfaction of the job. I absolutely love my company ❤️

I think as well as understanding the tasks you'd be doing, it's helpful to know what you *need* to thrive in life in general. When I was a teenager I thought that what I really wanted was to spend all my time doing "cool stuff" as a job, and that I'd be super adventurous and travel all over the place. But with more experience, I've realised for me personally, I need a regular routine, a sense of stability and to be able to spend time with people I love. I also used to think I'd enjoy working from home...But I must be one of the rare exceptions, because when I tried it, I found I got so stir-crazy and unmotivated being at my flat all the time! I got into really bad habits too, like starting my work day later and later, because without an external structure I struggled with self-discipline. Unfortunately, I don't think the wild and crazy freelance artist lifestyle I thought I wanted at 17 is something that would actually make me happy!

Thank you so much. Too many videos I watched generalized and fantasized the whole process of figuring out my goal career but this has really cleared it up for me. To all those thinking about how you want it to go take it like I did. When you workout, you have a dream body or dream strength and you’ll do all you need to do to get there and avoid what keeps you from there. You may not see the results now but there's signs and as long as you're intentional in going towards your interest you’ll reap what you sow. Your future's only in two beings' hands, God first then yourself. Be intentional, work hard and whatever you can't control, God will.❤

I've watched probably 10 TED talks and other videos searching for this answer but none have resonated as much as yours did. You've brilliantly explained and given tools to both those who know want they want and those who dont know what they want and been so validating at echoing that we change over time. 13 mins a day omg you've made that so manageable. OMG, I cant be thankful enough... I have been struggling for so long with this feeling of emptiness that I no longer want to be in my field that I've spent years studying for but now I dont know what else to do, that I dont have the energy to study at uni again, and just cant figure things out. Did so many career tests, looked through entire job lists, searched for rare jobs or whatever to just try to figure out what resonates with me, what is it that I want to do... Thank you so much.. I'll get going with this exercise.. Once again, hearty thanks :)

I really needed this! I went to college and had no idea what I wanted to major in. I changed my major a few times and ended up sticking with communications because it was versatile. Jobs I was interested in at that time were journalism and social media marketing. I ended up doing internships for both and ended up not really enjoying those certain career paths. After graduating I felt lost and was thinking a lot about jobs that interest me and I would research about them to see if they were jobs that I would actually enjoy doing. Most of the time I would search up videos on UKposts like “day in the life as (job title)” and would see the tasks that they would do and if I would be happy doing them. Right now I’m at the point where I’m really lost and have no idea what I want to do. Every time I try to imagine myself in a career, my mind would just go blank. I’m going to try out these tips and hopefully it can lead me to something as I still have hope! ☺️

@@McMilesE that seems like a great career path! What I did when I was thinking of careers that required me to go back to school was I always researched what the major offers, what type of jobs you can get out of the major, what are the tasks that you would e doing for those jobs, how much is the salary for those jobs, and is there a growth in jobs. Most of the time I would also look at Indeed and LinkedIn and search for the jobs related to the major and see the job postings. Going back to school is a lot of money and time so I would research everything I can possible. If it is something that you feel in your heart that you want to do and can imagine yourself doing a particular job then maybe you should consider going to school. ☺️

What hinges you to finding the work you love is your uniqueness. I think we go off with this perception that the title will make us love the career but it’s opposite the purpose makes you love the career and you have to figure out. How can you purposely give back and show up every day. ❤ I encourage you not to put so much pressure on yourself and just be open to what you can be.

Thank you for this video. I have been a veterinarian for 12 years. I had niggling from the beginning that it wasn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life. Those nigglings got louder and louder in the years. I have reached an impasse and now looking at what careers are out there that would be my home. I’m just at the beginning… thank you for showing me that it can be done!

Hi Ali, Thank you for sharing! I found the information you provided in this video so helpful. It gave me a clearer snapshot of my new career path(s). I listed six careers and their job responsibilities. After looking at it again, two of those I crossed out based on the work tasks I would enjoy doing! One of those, I must say, was so much like what I already do, it was astonishing I didn't see right through it! I guess I would equate this to, dating someone exactly like your ex only to realize later! Yikes! Luckily, I didn't apply to that job or I think I would have been miserbale. My current issue is I have applied for the jobs I want and have updated my resume to fit these skills (which do crossover). I just can't seem to land an interview. I've even gone as far as handing my resume in person to get a better understanding of the hiring process and get a feel for the environment, but still not getting any replies. If you have any feedback on this, would love to hear. Thanks again for helping me ensure I have a clearer path to what I want.

my dad had me think about why my favorite jobs have been my favorite jobs. i realized that i enjoy a team effort, and being able to look at my peers after a hard day’s work and be like: yes, we did that! i enjoy the feeling of accomplishing a goal at the end of each day. i’ve learned i would kind of like being able to visibly see the work that i have done. i’ve learned that project- based tasks are really fun for me. this is all stuff that was the complete opposite of the plan i formulated in high school. i’m so glad i took a few years off to work different jobs and have experiences in different types of work. now that i know what kind of work i enjoy, and have a passion that relates to it, i’m ready to go back to school. all this to say, take some time off of school or slow it down a bit. spend some time in different jobs and learn the type of work you like, then find a career that ties that together with one of your passions.

Start figuring out what you don't like doing. And I don't mean specific jobs but work situations. For example if you dislike constantly meeting people that you've never seen before, then don't become a medical doctor, sales representative, consultant... That way you can narrow down the choices.

Get some hands on experience in a heap of different fields. And like the other person said you can definitely get rid of what you don’t want to do. Things like high stress jobs, outdoors vs indoors etc. For example I always knew I would despise working solely in an office and that cuts out a heap of potential jobs for me.

To be honest, it feels so frustrating where you don’t know where to start searching, where to find answers. I’ve been through that myself, and in the process I found astrology, I just wanted to find an answer for what career, company or job should I look for. So I studied astrology for several years to find an answer, and I got it. It made total sense to me, and now I’m working on making this career vision happen. I must say that, in this process, it was important to let go the ego part that didn’t want to change some old versions of myself but it’s a process. Finding an answer is just the beginning.

This is why present education pathways at the moment are actually road blocks instead of being catalysts. It holds you back into institutional thinking instead of actually visualizing, experiencing what it being laid in front of you. Just because the paths of the ones before us have been laid, doesnt mean anyone of us cant move ways. The institutional way of teaching, learning and experiencing lacks the basic power of an indiviual which is to individuate and have great discernment.

Thanks for the video, I liked your thoughts on thinking about the actual work involved and not the job title. As far as job happiness goes, I've learnt along the way that whether I'm doing a job I like doing or a job I don't like doing, either way it feels like work. It doesn't really matter what we do, we're all only working to be able to survive, buy food, shelter, and maybe some fun stuff. Hopefully one day we can all have a universal basic income and not have to work to live.
