The best advice I can give to those people who are looking for their purpose, is to open their mind, and consider every path.
No matter what you look at, don’t go for the job. Go for the career.
People need to aspire to a career. And everybody tends to focus on college. College is a wonderful opportunity. It truly, truly is. If it wasn’t for colleges, we wouldn’t have some amazing people in our lives, right. Like rocket scientists and doctors. But we also need plumbers. We need electricians, we need firefighters. We need police officers because they touch people in their own way.
You could go to college and be a lawyer. You win the case, you sue somebody or you help somebody. But it’s not the same as a firefighter. You save lives, even as a plumber or electrician. They help people who need help in an instant, in their homes. And people forget that. But that’s a career and it’s got a personal touch that can make you feel fulfilled.
Jobs are fine, to an extent, but go for the career no matter what it is you’re looking for. Hopefully if you find the right career, you will feel good inside.
