There comes a moment in life when you need to decide what kind of business you want to do in the future. It's one thing when a person decisively knows what he wants and is continuously moving towards his goal. But it often happens that a person cannot say for sure where he could maximize his potential and the choice of calling the future becomes a problem for him.

Instructions
Step 1
Start by identifying your desires. Just dream about what you would be interested in, what could make you truly happy, who you would see yourself in in the future, what goals you set for yourself and what you strive for.
Step 2
Estimate your reserves and opportunities for choosing a future vocation. At this stage, it is advisable to focus on all your abilities, and identify for yourself in which area they could be most optimally applied. It is also recommended to evaluate your professional potential and think about what skills and abilities you already have more developed than others. To obtain a reliable assessment of your capabilities, it is recommended to pass several special psychological tests that will help describe your area of interest and determine which field of activity they are most suitable for. For a realistic assessment of your reserves, it is important to take into account all your weaknesses: complexes and possible shortcomings.
Step 3
Match your desires with your abilities. At this stage, you need to try to find a compromise between your preferences and real possibilities. It is important to focus not only on standard and popular professions, but to evaluate all the existing options. Indeed, in the world there are not only doctors, teachers, journalists and economists, but there are also a number of attractive professions, for example, a guide, geologist, geographer, archaeologist, copywriter, advertising manager and others.
Step 4
Find out more information about your future calling. For this, it is desirable to use a variety of sources of information: newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the global network. Find a detailed description of the chosen specialization in the catalog of professions.
Step 5
Take an internship for the profession. It is as a result of real "testing" of your chosen profession that you will be able to reliably and consciously evaluate it, as well as understand whether it is a vocation in your life.
