Problems in Choosing a Career

Let's walk through some of the potential quandaries with finding not just a job, but also a career, and see how to rise above those hurdles with confidence.

History
-
The era of earning a 25-year anniversary gold watch with one company is gone. Accept that you will have to deal with the uncertainty of a "correct work path" more than once, twice or even three times, and that will help you mentally.
Significance
-
Happiness is a state of mind. If you can take care of yourself, build meaningful relationships and use your time wisely, feeling good will follow. It's not always what you do, but how you react to what you do that makes the difference---you always have a choice in how you act.

Breaking Traditions
-
You need to follow in your father's/brother's/family's footsteps. If you try something and can't hack it, try something else. You need to create a life for yourself. If you make an earnest effort, no one can say what's right for you at this time in your life.
Creativity
-
Your next job has to be creative or you won't thrive. Creativity is not confined to the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.--there are more hours to fill. If you are artistic and like photography, or if you like to design clothes, do that in your spare time until you can make a go of it. No one gets a terrific career handed to him.
Time Frame
-
Many people feel like they have to pursue a career within a certain time frame. However, you are never too old to pursue the career of your dreams, and even traditionally "young" careers such as modeling need older folks for certain jobs.
