Here are some things to look out for while choosing a career:
- Know the difference between a job and a career. A career is a passion you have, not just a job that pays the bills.
- Consider your skills and interests. Are you good at math? Or are you more interested in arts and crafts? If so, consider becoming an engineer or an artist.
- Try not to limit yourself by thinking that one type of work is better than another based on where it's located (e.g., whether it's in New York City or San Francisco). Every city has its share of great companies and companies that aren't so great; they're all worth exploring!
- Think about what kind of work environment you want to work in. Do you want employees who are highly motivated and happy to be there? Or do you prefer people who are more laid back? Either way, it's important to find out how much autonomy employees get at their jobs, so that you can make sure everyone feels comfortable in their new role.
