What career should I pick

[mcali]

Alpha, I just meant choose something you know you'd like.


Mcall, how about a teacher..

A teacher sounds good but I wouldn't mind having a summer house if you know what i mean.

How about social worker?


I' ve a wonderful career, rewarding, the money aint too bad, but I don't enjoy it anymore, the excitement/passion wore off, and mind you I only chose this career path because of my family and their influence and yeah the money too and now I regret it I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I did.

Thank you sister. I feel like I'm at a real transitional point in my life. Hopefully everything turns out ok.

Good luck

How about social work

For a long time I thought about becoming a doctor but have no real passion in it whatsoever. My parents want me to get a degree that will insure me a job that has good pay. I want a job that I like. I love spending time with kids, I am a good writer, a people person, love traveling, and very good at memorizing things. What should I become?

Become a pediatrician.
You'll have to survive a few years of grueling academic work, but its mostly "read, remember, regurgitate" so you should be ok.
Guaranteed six figures for life, and all you have to do is give sick kids high fives and stickers.

^^^coming from a Somali guy seem weird to me.

why?

as for the topic, i think its the highest blessing is to find what you need to do in this world not what you like or easy for you, find the most compelling thing that is a fit for you to do that will help you change yourself for the better and people less fortunate than you

if could be a high paying career which will allow you to do many other good things for others and yourself

^^^coming from a Somali guy seem weird to me.

why?

It just did.

Maybe my definition of Somali guys is limited to the older generation ‘odayaalsha’.

How do you follow your heart? (No sarcasm intended)

I think I'd make an excellent librarian. Or houseplant.

Best advise so far.

[greenday]

Do a social science you have better chance of changing careers.

[anonymousfaarax]

I am currently contemplating the same thing that you are and I have come to realise that the best thing is to pick something that genuinely interests you and that you would enjoy. But sometimes it can be difficult to translate that into a tangible career path.
