Today, a career in a person's life takes an important place, sometimes people fall in love with their work so much that they unnoticeably forget about family, friends, relationships … Aside morality - how to choose a profession that you could fall in love with more than anything else?
What should a dream job be like?
No matter how trite it may sound, the dream job should bring pleasure to a person. No, not the pleasure that you get with a salary, but every minute pleasure, satisfaction from each completed task, excitement in the eyes and a desire to achieve results at all costs.
When a person completely forgets about the payday, and thinks only about how to do his job better, then we can say that he is on the right track.
However, it is worth thinking about the consequences of a lifestyle in which only a career occupies a person's head … Many careerists already at the age of thirty can observe depression, increased irritability or the absence of any social life other than that associated with work.
Is it worth it?
It is difficult to answer, because work itself can change your worldview: from a domestic person with traditional family values, successfully climbing the career ladder and / or gaining power can make a completely different person.
You need to be able to balance on the edge: give all your best at work, but try not to forget about your family and children, friends and relatives. It is difficult, but this is the only possible option so as not to lose one of the two.
For today's youth, late marriages (and children) are characteristic, and often the absence of such. This trend is not only a sign of complicated social relations, but also a sign that career, as one of the values, replaces the rest.
How to choose your dream profession?
It is not very easy to choose, especially at certain periods of life, when it seems that any specialty is in the teeth. It should be said right away that this is not so, and any attempts to "check" it can end in disappointment and a lot of wasted time. It is better to sit down once again, think, anasil.
What to analyze? Factors. Factors that make a person suitable for a particular type of activity.
1) Abilities. By the age when a person thinks about choosing a profession seriously, he already has a set of certain abilities and predispositions. If an individual has never understood algebra and has thrown math textbooks aside, it is unlikely that he will be disposed to work with numbers and algorithms (programmer, economist). You can sit down and try - learn 2-3 simple lessons in html (the language of writing web pages), and you will see.
2) Values and attitudes. Some modern activities are not suitable for people with strong principles and a desire to be moral. Your work must comply with your principles: if you do not want to experience constant stress at the "workplace", then you should think about whether, for example, the activities of an advertiser or a PR manager, who often have to lie to people and manipulate the minds of others, are suitable for you.
3) Practical skills. Undoubtedly the most important point. Answer the question "What exactly are you able to do?" Write down all your practical skills and knowledge that may be useful in practical activities on a piece of paper and see what kind of set you received and whether you received anything significant at all.
Do not forget about hobbies - they play an important role. A person who has been interested in sports all his life and watched football will find it easier to become a sports journalist than someone who has read car magazines, right?
Only a competent analysis of your abilities and inclinations will help you choose the very dream job. No need to blindly succumb to instincts: many activities look attractive at first glance, but there are many pitfalls hidden behind the veil of attraction.
Be judicious and do not hesitate to ask for advice from those people who truly love their work. Good luck!
