Career is something we all get confused about it at some point in life. There are too many paths. What should I choose? What should I choose that interest as well as offer a good amount of money? This will help you to know your interest in your career.
There is peer & family pressure too for adapting careers that most of the people are taking. It’s a cumbersome process but there are some points that I mentioned below to simplify your difficulties :
1. Make a list of your Options:
Assess yourself. Write down all the things that interest you. Analyze all the career options that you like. There are always few things that you like over other options. Give preferences to them only.
Now differentiate between your interest that makes as hobbies and which potential careers or jobs. For instance, you like painting or writing or knitting but are you skilled enough to sell your work? Could you make enough money to support yourself? If you are able to know this exactly, it will help you to know interest in your career.
