#FindingYourPassion #CareerAdvice #DreamJob
“If money wasn’t a problem, what would you do?” I wouldn’t work at all. 🌟
Feeling lost in life at 24 is completely normal, and many people go through the same struggles of trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. The idea of not having to work at all if money wasn’t a factor may seem appealing, but the reality is that most of us do need to work to sustain ourselves. However, that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a job that you hate. Here are some tips to help you find your passion and a job that you love:
## 1. Reflect on Your Interests and Hobbies
Start by making a list of things that you enjoy doing in your free time. It could be anything from painting, cooking, traveling, or gardening. Your hobbies and interests can often provide clues to what you are passionate about and what type of career you may enjoy.
## 2. Research Different Career Paths
Take some time to research different career paths that align with your interests. Look into various industries, job roles, and companies to see what opportunities are out there. You may discover a career that you never knew existed but fits perfectly with your passions.
## 3. Network and Seek Advice
Reach out to family, friends, and professionals in fields that interest you. Ask for advice, set up informational interviews, and attend networking events to learn more about different career paths. Building a strong network can open doors to new opportunities and provide valuable insights.
## 4. Consider Further Education or Training
If you’re struggling to find a career that interests you, consider furthering your education or gaining new skills through courses or workshops. Sometimes, exploring new subjects and learning new things can spark a passion you never knew you had.
## 5. Volunteer or Intern
Volunteering or interning in different industries can help you gain hands-on experience and insight into what a particular job entails. It’s also a great way to test out different career paths without committing to a full-time job.
## 6. Set Realistic Goals
It’s important to set realistic goals and expectations for yourself. Finding your passion and dream job takes time and effort, so be patient with yourself and keep exploring until you find the right fit.
Remember, it’s okay to feel lost and unsure about your future. Many people go through similar struggles, but with perseverance, self-reflection, and a willingness to try new things, you can find a career that brings you fulfillment and happiness. Good luck on your journey to finding your passion! 🌟
If you need more personalized career advice or guidance, consider reaching out to a career coach or counselor who can help you navigate your career path with confidence. And remember, it’s never too late to discover your passion and pursue a career that brings you joy.
What do you have a degree in? Is there something that you think you would enjoy more as a profession than doing something related to your degree?
I’ve never had any interest in working either, so the jobs I enjoyed the most were ones I could just put some headphones on and get some work done. I’ve done manufacturing, warehouse, and I’ve started working at the post office a few months ago which gives me the opportunity to wear headphones occasionally. All of those jobs gave me decent wages and benefits. So low stress, good wages and benefits, and a little bit of moving around is what’s important to me now; since nothing has ever really interested me.
Create libraries that are instrumental in positive social impact in the communities they are founded. Create gardens that facilitate opportunities for health and wellness, create more learning opportunities for at risk youth. Create dance programming for youth of diverse backgrounds and the parental units. My efforts would go towards health and wellness in diverse communities
What would your everyday life look like if you had all the money in the world?
Why dont you get an entry level job for starters? I mean, you are allowed to try some stuff out and you do not have to have 1 career for the next 40 years?
Stop acting spoiled
This is a stretch because who the hell am I and who the hell are you..
In general people that feel like a shadow walking around with no draw to anything or desire to “contribute” haven’t really lived a life yet.
The more you live, the more people you meet and more experiences you have the clearer your life interested and directions should be.
So get a job somewhere doing something tolerable.
If you can’t get a job right away spend your day and time learning new things, exploring your community or neighboring.
Just absorb experiences.
You will start to enjoy something or be interested in something at some point.
Those that are listless and say “I see no point in working and have no desire to” are framing work wrong. Have had the wrong jobs. Are working for the wrong reasons.
If everyone felt that way this society and all you enjoy would grind to a halt.
If half of us felt this way the other half would have to work twice as hard to give the first half a life unearned.
Bit of a rant.. maybe not applicable.
Meh.
What did you major in ?
Btw I’m a life purpose coach in training
Id love to help you out man
DM me if your interested
Open to new clients untill 3/17
I felt this way at college. I was a good student but didn’t love academia. Didn’t want to teach. After getting my degree, I bounced around. Took cheap classes at community college, did craigslist gigs. Eventually took a free class called residential wiring simply because it was something I knew nothing about. I loved the class, the teacher, learning the subject. By the end of the class, I had signed up for another and started applying for electrician trainee jobs. I’ve been in the trade for 10 years now, had several promotions, earning a great wage. And I still love it. If money were no issue, I’d still do it (maybe just 4 days a week).
So try different things. Try things you know nothing about. Talk to people. Be kind to yourself as you find your career.
I don’t work for money , even though I still get payed decently good for what I do , I work to keep myself busy , and can’t sit infront of tv for that long
I’m a few years older by your age I was a few years into my corporate job. I went from collecting cannabis plants to breeding to running a clone distribution and providing thorough genetic history from lineage/biomes to submitting tests for diseases.
​
I’m also a full-stack developer, I highly regret not turning my hobby into a business sooner. Selling the finished product is a cost I don’t have a budget for. I realized a lot of people in my industry either want to sell you some flowers, or some seeds. I realized there is no market for people who want to have professional micro gardens. The current people who hoard the space are currently on YouTube, and I think they a very good actors since I’ve never encountered them at any 420 events, or forums. The eugenics they pass off as “Professional” Looks like an accidentally pollinated plant and a random pheno. Mind you I’ve been in the scene for nearly a decade now, and my elders are pushing beyond retirement age, who can’t share their wisdom/mistakes very easily on the internet.
​
All in all I love what I do, but it’s more work than a standard 40 hr a week job.
What would you do to occupy your time? Can you earn money doin that?
For example: I would wrench on Motorcycles for fun
IRL: I’m a motorcycle mechanic
If i had enough money to never work a day in my life again- I would probably still want to stay busy doing something I am passionate about.
My grandma is in her 80’s and in great health, works in her garden all day. My grandpa’s health is failing- he has Parkinson’s, diabetes & now in a wheelchair. He was never as active as my grandma was.
I have a few family members that are wealthy & my aunt travels around the country (because my family is spread out) visiting family regularly. I’m in Florida, she’s in Cali, she was just here for a fam reunion 1 month ago & about to come back in a few weeks to get work done by one of our clients who is a plastic surgeon.
Another aunt just retired & travels with her husband often.
My parents are about to retire in a few years & already travel often.
I guess the goal is to travel & see the world?
Study a lot and work very few hours with something related to health and social services for the LGBT 🙂
Literally why we have capitalism. You have to contribute to live.
Hobbys and boardgames
I just got a job at a dog daycare and I never expected it but I LOVE it!
I would open a turkish coffee house.
You have to pick and grind the beans yourself + you get a propane tank for brewing with the coffee pot.
My plan is to bootstrap at least 2-3 profitable Subscription as a Software startups before I graduate college and have them run on autopilot
Let my software work for me so I do’t have to work a single day in my life. If you don’t want to work that’s fine, but you gotta find something to bring in the $$$
If money wasn’t a problem most people wouldn’t work at all lol
Take it from someone in that situation.
Get the highest salary that is feasible for your field. Live on dirt cheap expenses while you are working. Invest everything. Suck it up for years – decade (depending on your field) and say goodbye to that field when you have enough to GTFO and do whatever you want.
I have no advice. I’m 24 also and wouldn’t work but instead I’m full time in my career field and working on a bachelor’s and already hate the job grind. But the only logical thing is get to 6 figures as fast as possible and start investing until I can retire early.
Fuck the system lol.
Look for avenues other than university. Start working at a local food-coop and learn how to farm. Apply to your states department of natural resources or local government. Look into if you are able to teach English as a second language to immigrant adults. There is a lot of work you can do to help others, like actually make a difference in their lives, that have low barriers to entry. If you didn’t know, helping others feels real good.
I KNEW what I wanted to do going into college, I just didn’t get into any programs I applied to (Architecture). I bounced around between 4 schools before quitting and enlisting. My job is not my passion, but is affiliated with a University that has given me access to programs that I genuinely am excited about (trying to plant a forest on one of their campus’s).
I have not ventured into being an entrepreneur personally, but my brother has started few businesses and says the barrier to entry in that world is not as hard as people think. you just need a good idea and the follow-through to make it happen.
You can always go for some boring ass office job to pay the bills, but don’t put in any OT. Try to shoot for an office that strives to accomplish a goal you don’t hate. Respect YOUR time. You can do what you want in your own time, so your passion is not beholden to a boss.
