Career Counseling
Overview
Overview
Knowing what you require from a career is the most important and complex part of making a choice. Unfortunately, most people have no true idea what they require from a career and many find themselves in professions that don't match their talents or personality. They have gotten themselves into a career that ignores their needs, frustrates them, angers them, or bores them. They have either stumbled into their career for no general reason, have chosen it for the wrong reasons, or didn't understand what it was really like before they entered it.
Since you spend more time working than doing anything else, your career choice has an enormous impact on the overall quality of your life. People who are engaged in satisfying, challenging careers that match their talents, personalities and goals usually achieve a higher degree of success than people who do not care for what they do. They tend to be healthier and live longer, and are generally more satisfied with other aspects of their lives. Studies have shown that people who naturally fit their career aptitude-wise and personality-wise make, on average, from $3000 to $90,000 more per year than people in the same career who are a poor fit. An ill-fitting career contributes to stress and depression, and has a profoundly negative effect on self-esteem.
If your work fits your natural talents and innate abilities, matches well with your personality, is personally meaningful and occurs in an environment that supports your well-being and the fulfillment of your goals, you have all the ingredients necessary for a very satisfying and successful working life.
At what careers will you be both happy and successful? What type of work will provide you with fulfillment and get you to where you want to be in life?
