Two questions that come up time and time again:  How do I pick a career?  How do I know what’s right for me?

I wish there were one right answer, one way that worked for everybody and an easy way to determine exactly what would be the perfect fit, a test that would give you the exact outline for the path your career should take.   Unfortunately, it’s not that easy!

But there’s a really great reason why it’s not that easy: you probably would do great in a number of careers!  Remember, you’re not trapped into the first thing you try, and the ability to change and grow and take the knowledge you learned on one job and apply it to something completely different is always going to be there. 

Of course, it’s great if you can find a career you love right away, and the best way to do that is to really evaluate yourself.  Ask yourself what you’re looking for in a job and what it is that makes you happy.  Do you prefer teamwork or are you happier working on projects alone?  Do you prefer physical or mental work?  Creative or analytical work?  Money is always important – we all need to be able to pay our bills and eat – but is it the most important thing to you in a job, or do you have other needs – the need to be creative, the wish to help others, or a desire for a flexible schedule or lots of free time?  If you can figure out what is important to you, it’ll be easier to find a job and a career that will make you happy!
