I need to Find a Career - StudentScholarships.org
A large part of almost everyone's life consists of work and it bestows upon many feelings of self worth and value. It determines how others view you as well. I learned how important the right career is through first hand experience. After completing an Associates Degree six years ago, I found myself unsure of what path I wanted to take. I had no work experience and little life experience. Working those first few years I met many different people. Some were not much older than I and earned twice the salary that I earned. They had worked hard to get where they were and you could see the confidence that it gave them. I also met people much older than I was in positions equivalent to mine. Many were dissatisfied and several told me they wished they had made different choices. I met those who were burned out and hated their jobs. They dreaded coming to work every day. Then there were those for whom work was satisfying. They did their jobs well and with a smile.
On a personal level I knew that I felt unfulfilled. I didn't hate my job, but I was indifferent. I went to work every day simply for the money. It took up a significant amount of my time and I never had a feeling of accomplishment. I decided to get a new job and soon ran into the same problem. It began to occur to me that I needed to find a career, not just a job.
