Have you ever looked at someone else's career and wish you were doing what they do for a living? Sometimes we envy other people and want to do the same thing they are doing. We get into a career that is not right for us and end up being very unhappy. To have a career that will fulfill you and make you happy, it has to be the right career for you. That right career has to be something that will fit your life style and not someone else’s. How do you get that career that is just right for you?
First you have to decide what you want for a career and not try to have what someone else have. Just because they seem happy and is doing well at a certain job, that might not be the right job for you. You have to pick a career that fit you and your life style. If your close friend has a career that you envy and you decide you want to do the same thing, is it the right career for you? You have to look at every part of your life and examine yourself to see if this is the right thing for you to be doing at this time. They might have a job that they have to work ten to twelve hours a day and bring work home at night. They love it and make a lot of money doing it, plus have all the luxuries that go along with it. You might be jealous of that and decide that’s what you want to do too.
Can you work long hours like that and work at home without any interruptions? These are some of the things you have to think about when you are getting into a career. You might be more than capable of doing the work, but will the demands of the job that go along with it work with your life. That friend you envy so much might not have children
like you or older kids that don’t need as much attention as your child that might still be in preschool. They could be single, whereas you are married. Your life and their life are two different lives. Therefore you might not be as flexible or available as they are to do the work or hours that is needed to put into that particular job. This is when you have to realize you have to have the job that fit you and not someone else. No matter how good that job seems, if it don’t fit your life style, you will not be able to succeed at it. Picking out the right career for yourself is facing you might not right at this time in your life have a job that is glamorous and making a lot of money, but what you have fit you. Don’t pick your career from what someone else is doing. Look at all the things that someone else has to go through to maintain a certain job and not just the money and glory. We all want those fantastic jobs with huge salaries, large offices and a great expense account to travel.
But can we all work hose long hours or be flexible to do all the traveling that is needed for that position? Don’t jump into a career because this is what some else have and you think it will be great for you. Make sure first and most important this is something you really want to do. Then make sure whatever your work structure is, it will work for you and not interrupt your life.
Finding the right career is easy to do when you are looking for the career that fit you. Doing something that you can love and that you can work hard at without jeopardizing your life is succeeding. Do what’s right for you and you will be a success.
