If you do what you love and still earn money from it, you can get extraordinary pleasure from every day. Ideally, we would like to do what we love all the time, because we spend 8 or even more hours a day at the workplace. I don't want to waste this time. But in order to understand what kind of work you like, you often have to work hard.
Not everyone knows from childhood what he wants to do in life. It is quite rare to find a person with a pronounced talent or strong attraction to a particular job. It happens that by the end of school, the student cannot fully decide what he wants to do in life. He chooses a university or specialty not because he strongly wants to work in this area, but because it is prestigious, his parents convinced him or it was easy to enter. Only few people will follow their dreams, and even have this very dream of specific employment.
There is nothing wrong with that, self-determination is a long process. Not all young people aged 17-18 have established views and understanding of what they should do. But you should still think about this question, because your favorite work will bring you satisfaction, fill your activity with meaning.
Decide on your features
In order to understand what kind of work you like, you should think about what you love to do. Surely there are many areas in life that you pay attention to. If you like to communicate with people, do not get tired of them and get a kind of recharge from such communication, choose professions in which you can use this strong side. Do not like to sit still - find employment with constant business trips or traveling around the city. You can draw or write for hours - plunge into the world of creative specialties. And if you like to classify and subordinate everything to the system, you may like working with numbers and logical data.
Such a selection of specialties for the characteristics of a person's personality is the first stage of determining with a suitable activity for you. You can not decide on the field of activity completely - you can take a career guidance test. They will determine the type of personality and the most favorable areas of employment for a person. It is recommended to take such a test not only for future students, but also for quite adults who are thinking about changing jobs.
You are in constant search
Don't be afraid to change. Even if you entered the institute and realized that this specialty does not suit you, apply for another. It is better to lose a year or even several years than to finish your studies and be a specialist in a field that you do not like. If you work in a company and understand that this is not at all what you were looking for, leave your job and look for another. Search for as long as you find a job that you like. Only by trying, making mistakes, facing a job you don't like, you can understand what really suits you.
However, in your search, you should not make too hasty decisions. Always remember: any job requires effort, labor, time, and the acquisition of knowledge. To begin with, you need to invest a lot in it in order to decide whether you get the return or not, whether you like this activity or is it better to look for something else. There is a small rule to decide: if after 3 months in a new place you experience disgust and discomfort from work, you need to change this activity. Some workers give a new job six months or even a year, and then leave, but usually the three-month rule does not let the employee draw conclusions.
