HELP! Struggles finding a profession that suits me

Hi, I think that it should be a mixture of both, because both are equally important and you will be working for ... let's say ... at least 30 years, so it would be good to do something you enjoy, however if it's not stable or it can't support "at least" your basic daily needs then you will start to hate it and regret the time and effort spent on i......   2 reply

i think those two criteria don't reflect reality. The way that people are usually happy with their occupation is by being proud of their work. Seeing the results or how it helps other people makes all the hard work worthwhile. I'm a software developer. Most of the time I'm losing my mind but once you finish something it's the greatest feeling. Do......   reply

I think you should choose getting stable/rich, BUT you should still have a career that you like enough/tolerate because if you have to go to a job you despise every single day then that can take a toll an your mental heath   reply

In my previous university, I chose a major that is more technical than I wanted but I thought it would be okay because it also had design in it (my dream was to go to an art academy, but I had no support from family and other people around me, just an older artist friend of the family supported me and it was not enough) so I thought that it was a g......   reply

based on getting rich, and do whatever you want in your spare time. can be art or etc. if you save up enough money then you can live your life in comfort (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧   reply

What is it that you want in the future? Do you want to have a family? Do you want to travel the world? Base your career depending on how you wish your future to be. I personally became a teacher because I was pushed into it, but eventually I realized it was perfect for me - my best trait is encouraging and motivating people and being a teacher was ......   reply

It should be a combination of the 2 because a large portion of your life will be spent working so you’ll want to choose something you enjoy. To narrow down a profession, take a wide variety of courses if you’re in school. Choose some courses in the Arts, Sciences, Business, etc. This way you’ll find out quite quickly what you are good at, bad......   reply

I say do what you want to do. Find something that you love and would want to work so hard for. Because even if if you do have a hard time with it, you wouldn't give up. And once you do achieve it, you'll never feel like you're working because you're doing what you love. Good luck on finding your future career!   reply

Logically, number 2 seems like a better fit. But consider this: while it's true society's constructed in a way that may obstruct you from achieving the career you really want to achieve (financially, physically, emotionally, etc.) we can't overlook the fact that efficiency decreases when you hate your job. If you're not genuinely interested in the ......   reply

Being stable and rich. My reason is because my family is lower-middle class (?) but not really. We don't struggle financially but my parents are just super stingy, I'm way more poor than the friends around me, and my parents make it difficult to ask for money. I'm turning 18 and I'm scared to ask for more than £10 per month which is CRAZY!! They......   reply
