IDEA help: If I have no idea what career I want and seems as though I never - Help.com

I think that you should try the career you are a bit interested in– who knows, you might enjoy it more than you think! still, keep your eyes open, just because you have a job doesnt mean that you cant change it.

there are many kobs out there that we dont eve know about and pay very well. i wouldnt just give up but i wouldnt spend to much time looking either.

there’s a saying that goes a journey begins with one step. try something, at least start off your journey

That quote is helpful…it’s true that you have to try something to see if you really like it. Here is my situation I have considered all different programs to go for, for example interior design, graphic design, administrative assistant, medical assistant, radiologic technician…and more so obviously I am not sure of any decision that I’ve come up with. This is where I’ve been looking at what jobs pay the best and if there are jobs even available in he area I live in. Any suggestions?

your right, fist eliminate the jobs if there aren’t any close by. then think about in 5 years what would you be happy doing.
Or you could try taking a career test to see what the results are http://www.projectcareer.com

Hi,

You should definitely put a fair amount of time and effort into finding this! Beats not doing so and then getting in to the wrong job or career, only to have to try to get out and change the situation when you’ve dug yourself further in.

Getting it right, right now, means you can get into your ideal career and then work at getting good at it. The faster you get better at it, the more money you can earn for your efforts. You also tend to enjoy it more the better you are at it, and find it easier too, and more rewarding. The formula is, get into your ideal career and this puts you in a position to easily get good at it. Then learn, apply, learn, apply until you’re good at it. When you’re up there, earning money and a living feels almost effortless, and you’re spending most of your time doing what you love.

I blogged on this, on how to do some simple careers planning. I did it myself 6 years ago and am still really happy working in my ideal career (for myself, answering to no one!) Checkout my advice in this blog:
